A new book by Manju Journal, Voices: Ghana’s Artists in Their Own Words, showcases the exceptional range and virtuosity of the Ghanaian art world through interviews with artists, gallerists and curators working today in Ghana and across the diaspora. All of the artwork featured spans a range of styles and techniques, from sculpture and textiles to photography and fine painting. “We spoke to digital artists, illustrators, sculptors, fabric designers, ceramicists. Even though the book is made up of individual artist interviews, we wanted to thread the idea of their community throughout the book. Through the artists’ own words and experiences, you can really understand what’s going on here now.
