There is no better way to observe Ghana’s Year of Return initiative, which was formally declared by President Nana Akuffo-Addo early last year for those in the diaspora. One of the key events in December that championed visual art, music, entertainment, fashion, food commerce and more from across the diaspora was Afrochella.
The popular event brings a slew of big names to Accra, El Wak Stadium.
We saw Boris Kodjoe, Nicole Ari, Tina Lawson, Jidenna, Ebonee Davis and Laduma Ngxokolo were amongst the thousands of people who had gathered at Afrochella. We saw a variety of quality fine art and crafts from clothing and jewelry, to collectible paintings and sculptures.
All art displays and demonstrations represented the rich culture developed from all over the African continent.
Here’s what photographer Carlos Idun-Tawiah captured for GQ South Africa, our top 10 most attention-grabbing festival looks at Afrochella.
