The Arts Hour: On Tour In Accra
This month The Arts Hour on Tour will be in Accra, Ghana. Host Nikki Bedi will be joined on stage at the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences by the award-winning actress Lydia Forson, top comedian DKB and artist Kwame Akoto Bamfo.
There will be live performances from the multi-award winning rapper M.anifest and singer Cina Soul.
Nikki will be discussing how The Year Of Return is impacting on the arts and culture in Accra. The Year Of Return marks 400 years since the first documented Africans were brought from West Africa to the American colony of Virginia as slaves.
It’s a time when Ghana is reaching out to reunite Africans in the diaspora with those on the continent, and where the last few years have seen a burgeoning of the arts in Accra, from film, TV and comedy to Ga traditions.
