Artists Alliance Gallery Opening
Somewhere near Accra :P
Kofi Annan was their guest of speaker, and these people were their live performers. It was a art gallery showcasing African pride - art made, done, and sold by locals for everyone.
African Cup of Nations, the second game between Morocco and Namibia. it was boring, but we came in late, and only watched the even more boring second half (namibia lost by the way; 5 - 1).
this video came AFTER the game.
a little bit of a dance party with free guiness. ;P
One of the most captivating speakers I've ever met, Abena Busia is a well-known poet, author, and overall a true artist of Ghanaian art and literature. Here, we asked her where she got her inspiration from, and she blew us all away with her answer.
In Kokrobite, Ghana
09 January 2008.
in ghana for winter break and we got to hang out and chill with the locals. here's odama (from burkina faso) teaching how to play an instrument.
i think its a banjo.
at least its banjo-esque.
We were on a boat, cruising around the wetlands about 30 minutes away from the Kokrobite Institute where we were staying. Saw a lot of tropical birds just hanging out, crabs laying low, and then this boy out in the distance.
Couldn't help it. I think he's pretty brilliant.
