Aperture and the Dikan Center, a nonprofit institution for visual education, are pleased to present the launch of Aperture magazine’s Fall 2023 issue, “Accra,” which considers the Ghanaian capital as a site of dynamic photographic voices that connect visual culture in West Africa to the world. Guest edited by the New York–based artist Lyle Ashton Harris and the Accra-based photographer and educator Nii Obodai, “Accra” explores archives that catalog Ghana’s past, the country’s role as a beacon for Pan-African thought and political activism, and the visions of a new generation.

Join Paul Ninson , founder and executive director of Dikan Center and Anakwa Dwamena, a writer and contributor to Aperture, for a conversation with contributing artists and writers to the “Accra” issue, including Kobby Ankomah-Graham, Carlos Idun-Tawiah, Lloyd Foster, and Fibi Afloe, who will speak about their photography in and about Accra.

This event is free and open to the public. The copies of the magazine will be available at the event.
