Easter Weekend at a photography exhibition
I was delighted to spend my Easter holidays attending a photography exhibition by Nuku Studios with my friends @abdul01 and @depressedfuckup. Nuku studios is a center for photographic research and practice located in the heart of Tamale Ghana.
this is me.
On April 8th 2023 at 3 pm Nuku Studio opened a Retrospective on “Northern Ghana Life”. The exhibition showcases a selection of photographs of the “Northern Ghana Life” project which brought together a group of national and international photographers to document stories from Northern Ghana which were first displayed during the 2018 Nuku Photo Festival.
It was amazing to see how other people from different ethnicities valued and appreciated the culture and heritage of my own people. The people of Northern Ghana. Our way of life is indeed diverse and unique. The exhibition perfectly told our stories.
Works of the following photographers were exhibited: Dennis Akuoku-Frimpong, Abdulai Adam, Gerard Nartey, Peter DiCampo, Eric Gyamfi, Francis Kokoroko, Bénédicte Kurzen, Nii Obodai and Patrick Willocq.

During the opening event, there was a print sale, drinks and snacks. The “Northern Ghana Life” Book was also available for purchase.
This exhibition will be opened for two months until June 8th, 2023. So if you live in Tamale and you are interested, you can check it out as it’s going to be around for awhile.

The black and white has taken the beauty and live out of some of the pictures, but in others, it’s made it more classic and “arty”. Other people who didn’t see the colored version of some of the pictures probably won’t understand what I’m saying now. It was really fun indeed. That was actually my first visit to an art-themed event.
The pictures🤦🏿♂️ I edited it black and white because it wasn’t so clear. I’m not good at taking pictures, sadly.
Anyway I’m glad that you could see some kind of artistic effect in some of them.
It was indeed interesting👍🏿
I enjoyed myself on this day. It was a time to reflex on certain things too. These pictures took me back to my childhood. Especially that charm. The stories we use to hear about them. Technology has erased all of those It was fun having to see them again. I have to get back and purchase the book. It holds a lot of interesting facts.
Thanks for sharing with the ecosystem. We had a great time.
The exhibition was interesting indeed but the book🤦🏿♂️ gh360 is not small money oo
For a minute, I thought all the pictures were realistically in black and white, till I saw a coloured version in one of the clips.
This looks like it was so much fun. With the way you are smiling in the last picture. I'm sure it was enlightening to learn about your culture and see pictures that accompany✨
Indeed it was really incredible, as you rightly said, my mood in the last picture says it all.
In fact I couldn’t capture 80% of what they said about the pictures in this post. I forgot many,lol.
I appreciate your comment 👍🏿
Good thing you had first hind information.
Have a great day ✨
Thank youuuu and same to you
You're welcome ✨
