My perky friend, Zainabu Issah, after lectures convinced me to join her support our brothers from Nima, Mohammed Awudu of Freestyle
Clothing and Aziz Idriss of GoldCoast Clothing and Arts at the Chalewote Street Art Festival 2013 at James Town in Accra over the
weekend.
Honestly, this was my first time of knowing the existence of such a
festival. I was hesitant to go with her, but she managed to talk me into
joining her support our brothers.
CHALEWOTE Street Art
Festival, I came to understand, is the collective effort of many young
people—ranging from artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers to designers,
students and activists—who work together to produce an art festival. The event has seen it third year.
The purpose of the festival is to promote the exhibition of
alternative art in Ghana and to nurture an appreciation for different kinds of
art among Ghanaians. CHALE WOTE means “Man, let’s go!” or is a reference to slippers
worn on the feet. This festival is completely “Do-It-Yourself” with the
talented energies of many people needed to make it happen.
Why Jamestown was chosen, I do not have the slightest idea. Enjoy the festival through my pictures and let us meet at Chalewote Street Art Festival 2014, IN SHAA ALLAH .
