We are delighted to announce that this November, Gallery 1957, Accra, will be presenting a collaborative project between renowned fantasy coffin maker Paa Joe and performance artist Elisabeth Efua Sutherland, running from 21 November 2017 – 10 February 2018. 'Akԑ yaaa heko || One does not take it anywhere', coincides with Paa Joe’s 70th birthday (and marking his 40th year in the coffin trade), and considers traditional funerary customs of the Ga and Fante communities in contemporary Ghana.
