Thought leaders, practitioners and enthusiasts within the art community gathered at the Institute Museum of Ghana for the opening of “A Thatch of Ochres,” a solo exhibition by Michael Jackson Blebo.
The exhibition, led by the 2021 Absa L’Atelier Ambassador, delves into the subconscious, presenting a post-Wakandan utopia where signs and symbols became critical forms of expression.
Central to the exhibition which opened on July 12 was the innovative multidisciplinary installation titled “Space Travel.”
This piece redefines the anthill as the “adakadan,” serving as a time capsule that symbolizes the evolving aesthetics of identity.
The installation depicts a moving colony of thoughts, actions, and convictions, reflecting the migration of creative aspirations.
Through intricate symbolism and ritual forms, “Space Travel” invited viewers to explore the layers of shared histories and contemporary practices.
It highlights the interconnectedness of self-identity, culture, and community, encouraging visitors to reflect on their own stories and interpretations of myths and beliefs.
The show runs till August 16,2024.
