THE ARCHIVE..........continue

The Archive went on, It was 36 intensive days of interactions, discussions, readings, critiques as well as the Clark institute Seminar. Finally we had to figure out a final presentation of our experiences.

This ended up as a collaborative exhibition, it was interactive and performative. 

The final presentation tagged 'A History of Contemporary Art in Ghana in the Last Five Weeks', had a blackboard with questions at Dei centre, Accra and guest were invited to respond to this questions, hence being part of our experience. In documenting this history, Archival documents collected during this five weeks  was also installed.
