The multi-threaded narrative is based on the personal experiences of the artists. Participation of individuals from Ghana is supported by the OmenaArt Foundation (https://omenaartfoundation.com). - Fabric is a common point in the practices of artists from different cultural contexts: Rita Mawuena Benissan and Pamela Bożek carry out their projects together with communities outside the world of contemporary art. - Patrick Tagoe-Turkson and Józef Gałązka create upcycling art, using waste to comment on the climate crisis and overproduction – for the Ghanaian artist, it is also a reflection on environmental degradation in a region affected by global imbalance. - An innovative interpretation of the fabric medium and its unusual, plastic materiality intertwine in the work of Kwaku Yaro. - Kinga Nowak's paintings, inspired by the traditions of West Africa and international discussions about the restitution of property looted during colonization, refer to the historical background of today's cultural flows.
