JOSEPH AWUAH-DARKO: "AFRICAN ART IS IN THE CONTEMPORARY SLIPSTREAM" | STORIES OF YOUNG

Ashlee Janelle travels the roads of Accra to meet our final guest of the series, African art specialist, Joseph Awuah-Darko in his art residency – the first independent one in Ghana.
A lover of art, the self-proclaimed creative multi-hyphenate (he’s an artist too), has always been aware of his calling in life: the nurturing of artists. As the conversation unfolds, he reveals what inspired him to open his art space and his hopes for the future.
