Godfried Donkor featured in The Guardian

We’re delighted to share that Gallery 1957 has been included in The Guardian’s “Culture: Week Ahead” guide, a curated editorial highlighting key global moments in cinema, theatre, visual art and music.

 

Positioned within this week’s international arts round-up, the feature draws attention to the breadth of contemporary cultural activity shaping audiences across major creative capitals, with a particular focus on standout exhibitions and programmes defining the current moment. Within this context, Gallery 1957 is referenced as part of Accra’s expanding contemporary art ecosystem — a city increasingly recognised for its dynamic contribution to global visual culture.

 

The inclusion reflects the growing visibility of Ghana’s creative landscape on the international stage, where artist-led spaces, institutions, and independent initiatives continue to shape critical conversations around contemporary African art, exhibition-making, and cultural infrastructure.

 

As part of a wider editorial selection spanning film releases, theatre productions, and visual arts programming, the mention underscores Gallery 1957’s ongoing presence within global cultural discourse and its role in advancing contemporary artistic practices from Ghana to an international audience.

 

We extend our thanks to The Guardian for spotlighting the vibrancy of the current cultural moment and for recognising the significance of Accra’s evolving contemporary art scene.
