Opening hours 2pm - 7pm

 

Many West African cities are experiencing high rates of modernization. Luxury shopping malls and concrete apartment blocks are replacing older, more traditional neighbourhoods. The metropolis’ changing identity and influx of new developments are leaving its urban spaces caught in a state of limbo: awaiting modern futures while fossilized with the fragments of the past. 

The spatial art platform Limbo Accra intervenes in existing infrastructures of uncompleted properties by interweaving and connecting site-specific, socially engaged art projects. With this exhibition, we amplified their mission of increasing global awareness towards West Africa’s spatial environs and helped establish a trans-continental dialogue of space and responsibility. 

We are happy to have been able to present the show, music listening sessions, performances and panels at Haus der Statistik - a role model project for city planning and architectural development in Berlin.
