Art Africa Gallery spotlights women’s struggles, breast cancer awareness through ‘She Carries the Market’ exhibition

Art Africa Gallery presents its fourth Colour Cure exhibition, amplifying the stories and struggles of women through art. The theme, "She Carries the Market," highlights the often-invisible contributions of women in society, and raises awareness about breast cancer. The exhibition features seven female artists and a documentary photographer, all of whom offer unique perspectives on the topic.

The initiative, spearheaded by Ghana’s Ambassador to South Korea, Kojo Choi, aims to support female artists and promote breast cancer awareness. Speaking about the theme, Partner Manager and co-curator Henry Kwaku Duah emphasized that women bear responsibilities far beyond their professional lives, from the market to the home and workplace.

He urged the public to visit the gallery and buy artworks, with a portion of the proceeds going to support breast cancer awareness through Sonotech Medical Centre. Co-curator Sarah Emefa King, also known as Sasa, shared that the exhibition was deeply personal, as she had witnessed breast cancer affect her family members and participated in the Colour Cure exhibition two years ago.

The works presented in the exhibition showcase a range of mediums and styles, emphasizing that women cannot be confined to a single image or expectation.
