This exhibition is the result of a collaboration with the Nubuke Foundation and the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam. Time, Trade & Travel is a collective venture exploring the histories shared by Ghana and the Netherlands, over various centuries, diverse economic systems and geopolitical divisions in the world.

Similarly,   Dutch artists, Katerina Zdlejar, Aukje Koks, Zachary Formwalt, Iris Kensmil and Navid Nuur looked at our shared histories through diverse lenses, perspectives and use of medium.
