A Living Space for Making, Learning, and Exchange
The Centre’s work is shaped by the people, materials, and knowledge systems of the Upper West Region. Through its permanent exhibition, artist residencies, library, school engagements, and public programmes, Nubuke Centre for Textiles and Clay creates opportunities for traditional skills to be studied, shared, and carried into new creative forms.
Its annual Woori Festival brings this vision to life by gathering weavers, artists, designers, performers, students, cultural practitioners, and communities in a celebration of weaving, clay, storytelling, music, food, and collective learning. These programmes honour the region’s creative heritage not as something fixed in the past, but as a living practice that continues to evolve through collaboration.
As Nubuke Foundation’s home in Wa, the Centre is both an archive and a meeting place: a space where local craft knowledge, contemporary art, education, accessibility, and community life come together to support future generations of makers, thinkers, and cultural workers.
