Tours


As part of the work at The Nubuke Foundation Centre for Clay and Textiles in WA, we visited eleven (11) sites in Nadowli, 3 in Nandom, and 6 in Wa. We documented them to create a map of these sites as Tourist destinations and for developing other multimedia features based on the history and culture of these towns.

She has an MFA from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi and has published many articles and essays from her travels in West Africa.
