At this fragile moment in the history of contemporary artmaking, the Arts/Africa working group has mobilized to bring attention to emergent creatives whose works and ideas seed the future. You are invited to meet Michael Dela Dika, Ghanaian ceramic sculptor, and educator on Wednesday, October 26 at 3:00 pm EDT. Mr. Dela Dika will share his work and discuss his process which explores human fragility, vulnerability, and exhaustion. Artist-scholars Professor Ebenezer Kofi Howard and Professor Samuel Nortey of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (Kumasi, Ghana) will respond to Mr. Dela Dika’s work and engage all participants in the examination of art in the (post) Covid moment.
