COMMUNITY DESIGN INTERVENTION INITIATIVES 2011 TO 2017

"The 10th anniversary of Nubuke Foundation coincided with the launching of its newly constructed centre for Textiles and Clay situated in Loho, just on the outskirts of Wa, in the Upper West Region of Ghana.

The ambitious goal of setting up this centre comes from the dream of 2 of its founding members- Odile Tevie and Kofi Setordji to extend Nubuke Foundation's vision to promote, support and stimulate artisanal practice in clay pottery and textile weaving in one of the beautiful regions in Ghana.

The centre will create a space where traditional arts and contemporary art meet. Through experimentation and research this meeting evolves to become a fusion of new and old- melding and merging, adopting and adapting of ideas. A space where ideas go on and on... Katerina Genidogan was Co-organizing and implementing the research on Ghana’s contemporary weaving communities for the creation of a knowledge base for textiles and the curating of the first permanent exhibition."
