On the ever-busy Oxford Street, where music, fashion, and street life collide, a different kind of energy is taking shape—quiet, reflective, and deeply rooted in heritage.

Woven in Glass invites visitors to pause and see one of Ghana’s most iconic cultural symbols in an entirely new light.

It’s not fabric on a loom this time, but glass—shimmering, fragile, and unexpectedly powerful.

Reimagining Kente for a Global Audience

At the heart of the exhibition is Ghanaian–British artist Anthony Amoako Attah, whose work bridges continents and centuries. His inspiration draws from Kente cloth, a textile historically worn by Akan royalty and imbued with meaning through intricate patterns and colours. Each design tells a story—of leadership, unity, resilience.

Attah’s approach transforms this visual language into glass, preserving its symbolism while shifting its form. The result is both familiar and surprising. In glass, Kente’s geometry becomes luminous, almost suspended in time, offering a fresh perspective on a tradition many Ghanaians grew up seeing but perhaps never fully examined.

What Visitors Can Expect

Step into the exhibition and you’ll find more than just art on display. The atmosphere is intentionally immersive—cool, contemplative, and quietly vibrant. Light plays across the glass pieces, revealing layers of detail that shift as you move. It’s an experience that rewards patience and curiosity.

Visitors can expect thoughtfully curated displays that highlight both the history of Kente and its reinterpretation. Conversations naturally emerge in spaces like this—about identity, craftsmanship, and how tradition evolves in a modern world. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or simply exploring Accra’s cultural scene, there’s something compelling in the way the exhibition invites you to look closer.

Why It Resonates with Everyone

For international visitors, Woven in Glass offers an accessible entry point into Ghanaian culture—one that goes beyond souvenirs and surface-level experiences. It provides context, depth, and a sense of continuity between past and present.

For locals, the exhibition carries a different kind of weight. It’s a reminder that heritage isn’t static. Seeing Kente reimagined in glass can spark pride, curiosity, and even debate about how culture should be preserved and shared. It’s both a celebration and a conversation.

A Moment Worth Experiencing

In a city that rarely slows down, Woven in Glass creates space to reflect, connect, and appreciate the artistry woven into Ghana’s cultural fabric—now cast in glass. Whether you’re visiting Accra for the first time or rediscovering it as home, this exhibition offers a rare chance to see tradition transformed without losing its soul.

On a warm May evening in Accra, the air won’t just carry music—it will carry anticipation, reunion, and a shared sense of purpose.

As voices rise and hands lift, KATON Praise 2026 promises more than a concert; it offers a powerful gathering where faith, culture, and community meet.

Set for May 1st at the open grounds of Ghud Park Accra Mall, this free worship event is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about moments on Ghana’s cultural calendar.

At its heart, KATON Praise reflects a growing tradition across West Africa—large-scale gospel gatherings that blend music, spirituality, and social connection into one unforgettable experience.

This year’s edition carries added excitement with the arrival of internationally acclaimed gospel artist Chandler Moore, whose return to Ghana has stirred anticipation among fans.

He will be joined by celebrated voices, including Joe Mettle and Phil Thompson, alongside other performers shaping contemporary gospel music. Together, they represent a bridge between global sounds and Ghana’s deeply rooted worship traditions.

But KATON Praise is not just about the stage—it’s about the atmosphere. Visitors can expect an open, welcoming space where strangers quickly become a community.

The night unfolds with live music, collective singing, spontaneous moments of prayer, and the kind of energy that comes from thousands of voices moving in unison.

Around the venue, the familiar rhythms of Accra life continue: food vendors serving local favourites, conversations flowing in a mix of languages, and the hum of a city that knows how to gather.

For international visitors, the event offers a unique window into Ghanaian spirituality—one that is vibrant, expressive, and deeply communal. It’s a chance to experience how faith is lived here: not quietly, but with music, movement, and joy.

For locals, it’s something equally meaningful—a moment to reconnect, to pause from daily routines, and to share in something larger than themselves.

Perhaps the most striking part of KATON Praise is its accessibility. Entry is free, and the event is also streamed online via Katon Meet, opening the experience to audiences far beyond Accra. It’s an invitation without barriers—one that reflects the inclusive spirit at the heart of the gathering.

As the night approaches, one thing is clear: KATON Praise 2026 is not just an event to attend, but one to feel. Whether you come for the music, the message, or the moment, you’ll leave with something that lingers long after the final song.

If you scrolled through your timeline this Thursday, you needed a scorecard to keep up with the drama.

With a national holiday looming to celebrate Workers’ Day, Ghanaians decided to clock in early on social media, turning Facebook and X into battlefields of politics, power, and pop culture. The vibes were tense, funny, and chaotic, sometimes all at once.

The electricity crisis, or ‘Dumsor’, remained the heavyweight champion of conversations. As workers prepared for their day off tomorrow, many joked that the only thing “off” tonight would be the lights.

The tension escalated when popular influencer Kwadwo Sheldon gave President Mahama a strict one-month ultimatum to fix the recent power outages caused by the Akosombo fire, or face “massive criticism”.

While Sheldon drew a line in the sand, musician Coded (of 4×4 fame) jumped to the president’s defense, calling critics who refuse to see the government’s efforts “witches” who don’t want good things for Ghana.

Away from the national grid, tribal politics struck a raw nerve. A video of NPP communicator Benjamin Gyewu-Appiah (Benghazi) went viral for the wrong reasons after he declared that “Ghana belongs to Ashantis.”

The backlash was swift and brutal, with netizens calling for him to be “reined in” and even dragging the Asante King, Otumfuo Osei Tutu, into the debate to disown the comments.

Meanwhile, future lawyers are facing a different kind of blackout. The government’s dramatic U-turn on the Ghana School of Law entrance exams—reinstating a test they promised to scrap—has left students feeling betrayed.

MP Vincent Ekow Assafuah slammed the move as “reckless disregard,” capping off a day where many felt the government was giving with one hand and taking with the other.

Why These Conversations Resonated

• The General Mood: There is a palpable sense of accountability in the air. The reaction to the “Dumsor” crisis is no longer just about the inconvenience of darkness; it’s about perceived competence. The public is actively debating whether the government is solving problems or creating new ones, with citizens acting as the referees.
• The Pulse on Identity: The Benghazi comments triggered a visceral reaction because they threaten Ghana’s delicate tribal peace. In a digital era where young Ghanaians are pushing for unity, such rhetoric is seen as ancient history that has no place in modern discourse.
• Holiday Anticipation: With May Day tomorrow, the conversation was heavily colored by class consciousness. The Law School debate, specifically, highlights the frustration of the middle class—people with degrees who still face bureaucratic bottlenecks. It’s a reminder that for many workers, the struggle for a secure future continues despite the holiday.

April 30, 2026, showcased a Ghanaian internet that is deeply political but increasingly impatient. The “rally-around-the-president” period following the Akosombo fire is officially over, replaced by citizens demanding timelines and results.
