Manage episode 445965585 series 2976930
Award-winning visual artist Ibrahim Mahama is the founder of three art spaces in Tamale, Northern Ghana: Red Clay Studio, Savannah Centre for Contemporary Art (SCCA) and Nkrumah Voli-ni.
These arts spaces act as a repository for ancient and contemporary artefacts that have been recovered or donated and provide a platform for discussing Ghana's past, present and future.
In this episode of the Connecting Communities podcast, Ibrahim talks about the genesis of Red Clay Studio and becoming the subject of a new documentary film called ‘Dear Home of Scar’ by Ammodo Docs.
In this film, we see the arrival of a train, and the construction of a track on the grounds of Red Clay, and watch as the community get behind his project.
