THE LAB

Who are we if not our dreams, and the dreams of those who love us?

A-KRA Studio’s dream?

THE LAB

Above is a creative/research visualisation of an artist-run gallery + cultural consultancy space in Accra, Ghana. For about a year and a half, A-KRA has been operating out of host institutions and on the world wide web. We are immensely grateful so far to The Gold Coast Report, Ano Institute of Arts and Knowledge, Terra Alta, The Library of Africa and The African Diaspora, and Autograph ABP for their support in activating versions of our work.

In our sketched design, you can spot clues of our aspirations. The LAB would be a hub for collaboration, research workshops, zine making, participatory art exhibitions, imaginariums, and edutainment programming for young dreamers.

Fundraising efforts to rent a space for a short-term prototype/pop-up version will begin later this year, and if you’d like to help with bringing this vision into our dimension, please email yaa@akra.studio.
