Nkyinkyim is an evolving art installation/monument (work still in progress) created by award-winning Ghanaian artist
Kwame “KABE” Akoto-Bamfo. The concept was created and developed by Kwame Akoto with contributions from Delali
Dziedzoave (Architect). The proposed site is at Nuhale-Hwakpo, in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
The artwork/Installation will be made of a wall-like monument that will bear relief sculptures as well as sculptures in the – round (outdoor theatre) that will tell stories of our Ghanaian/African ancestors. The word “ Nkyinkyim” is both an ‘adinkra’ symbol and a proverb. It directly relates to the travels made by our ancestors and also their journeys from where they migrated.
