Concept

Ancestral Bronze positioned four practices in conversation with the long lineage of Akan brass-casting, asking how a material historically tied to royal commission and ritual is being re-authored in the present.

The exhibition was accompanied by a public programme of three artist talks, a foundry visit, and a printed reader commissioned for the show.
