Currently on display at Gallery Soview in Accra, the ‘I SEE EVERYTHING YOU CAN BE’ exhibition brings together the works of five emerging Ghanaian artists: Elroy Salam, Emmanuel Afriyie Arthur, Quarshie Dela, Baahwa, and Mary-Jo Adjetey.

These artists, who have received support from the Africa Prime Initiative (API), showcase a diverse range of perspectives and mediums, reflecting the vibrancy of contemporary African art.

This exhibition is the result of the collaboration between Gallery Soview and #API, an initiative dedicated to fostering and elevating emerging talent across the continent. The artists, through API’s grants, have had the opportunity to further develop their creative voices and share their work with a wider audience.

This collaboration is a testament to the role API plays in strengthening #Africa’s artistic narrative globally. From Rising Voices in Namibia to partnerships in Madagascar, API’s efforts continue to open doors for artists and create lasting opportunities for growth.

 A special thank you to the artists and Gallery Soview for making this exhibition possible. ‘I SEE EVERYTHING YOU CAN BE’ is free to visit in Accra until November 10th. For more details, visit: https://contemporaryand.com/exhibition/i-see-everything-you-can-be-group-show/

Africa’s moment: media power in pivotal election year

With 4 billion heading to the polls this year, including in 19 African nations, an empowered media sector will be vital for ushering in a new era of reformers across the continent. In the past, Africa’s news outlets have been apprehensive to challenge the work of governments due to the political and economic obstacles – but finally, the media is increasingly willing to scrutinise leaders and promote effective leadership. My article in #BusinessDay explores the role of media in holding leaders accountable and argues that only an empowered pan-African media sector can unlock Africa’s potential through better governance: https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/opinion/2024-03-14-yaya-moussa-africas-moment-media-power-in-pivotal-election-year/

Storytelling has long played a central role in African societies with storytellers often holding a special place as the keepers of history and tradition. However, with migration, Africa’s stories have left the continent and are now disseminated across the world. Taking full ownership of our stories through new Afro-centric content requires us to reclaim our rich storytelling culture. With digitalisation, we have observed a renewed and increased interest from the diaspora in stories from home, as well as a strong desire from African creatives to share their authentic stories with a wider international audience. Observing these two dynamics has made it apparent that only by mutually strengthening collaboration between the diaspora and locals will we be able to ensure our storytelling tradition endures. Here again there is important work to be done to ensure we enable such collaboration to thrive. We must create an enabling environment, composed of structures facilitating knowledge sharin
