We are thrilled to share that Rita Mawuena Benissan, an artist represented by Gallery 1957, has been featured in a compelling article discussing her groundbreaking work and cultural preservation efforts.
In the piece, the writer delves into Benissan's innovative 2023 exhibition, In the World not of the World, which explored Ghanaian identity through traditional symbols like the royal umbrella, blending them with contemporary artistry. The writer also highlights Benissan’s important work with Si Hene, a non-profit dedicated to preserving Ghana’s chieftaincy archives and making cultural heritage more accessible to future generations.
We’d like to extend our thanks to the writer for beautifully capturing the essence of Rita's work and the cultural significance behind her exhibitions.
