The Nubuke Foundation definition:
To be inspired by the cultural heritage of Ghana. To research it, to display it, and to celebrate it.
Nubuke Foundation’s motivation:
National memory and heritage, which are important factors in understanding the culture of a people, have been erased or neglected, and the structures — institutions, communities, family — which traditionally act as custodians have long lost either the capacity or the will to play this role.
