SHOWCASE: EVENTS & EXHIBITIONS
Roots Run Deep
May 5 – May 12, 2026 - 4PM
Ridge Valley Park, Accra
Roots Gallery invites you to descend into the profound, the ancestral, and the unapologetic. "Roots Run Deep" is a curated experience featuring a powerful selection of contemporary African artists whose work explores the invisible threads connecting our past to our present.
The Theme
While the world sees the "branches" of African creativity—the vibrant colors, the bold patterns, and the global influence—this exhibition seeks to honor the roots. These are the histories, the spiritualities, and the urban realities that nourish.
From the red dust of rural landscapes to the neon glow of the modern African metropolis, the pieces in this collection serve as a visual map of identity.
"To know where you are going, you must first know where you are rooted."
