Podcast: Rediscovering our past and present through art with Ibrahim Mahama

Updated: Oct 29

Award-winning visual artist Ibrahim Mahama is the founder of three art spaces in Tamale, Northern Ghana: Red Clay Studio, Savannah Centre for Contemporary Art (SCCA) and Nkrumah Voli-ni.


These arts spaces act as a repository for ancient and contemporary artefacts that  have been recovered or donated and provide a platform for discussing Ghana's past, present and future.



In this episode of the Connecting Communities podcast, Ibrahim talks about the genesis of Red Clay Studio and becoming the subject of a new documentary film called ‘Dear Home of Scar’ by Ammodo Docs.


In this film, we see the arrival of a train, and the construction of a track on the grounds of Red Clay, and watch as the community get behind his project.




This interview is hosted by Abena Sεwaa, the publishing editor of AKADi Magazine and is produced by editor KAmo.
