Ghanaian artist Ezra Appiah unveils his solo exhibition titled "Family Album: A New and Reborn Version" at the 2026 Absa Bank L'Atelier event in Accra, Ghana. The exhibition runs from November 7 to 27 and invites audiences to explore memories and stories found in family photographs. Appiah, a 2024 Absa L'Atelier Art Ambassador Award winner, draws inspiration from childhood memories and archival family photographs to challenge traditional family album representations and delve into unspoken relationships and experiences.
Appiah, a 2022 Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) holder from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, is a member of the blaxTARLINES collective and has exhibited in Ghana and internationally. The exhibition comes as Ghana celebrates the selection of photographer and environmental activist Reginald Boateng as a 2026 Absa L'Atelier Art Ambassador Award winner.
Boateng's work, "Our Water Turns Red," highlights the environmental damage caused by illegal gold mining in Ghana. Absa L'Atelier Art, established in 1986, supports emerging African artists' professional development and provides platforms for them to reach new audiences. The 40-year-old competition marks its anniversary in 2026, with Ambassador Award winners receiving mentorship, masterclasses, and an international residency, with up to $6,000 towards exhibition materials.
