Chalewote Final Weekender. Gbagbasete Parade: more than an event; it’s a bold declaration of our heritage and resilience amid challenges. It acts as a striking reminder of the extensive wisdom from earlier times, functioning as a lens via which we explore our envisioned progressive future and different possibilities.

Combining non-native organisms, innovative visual styles, and unconventional methods, the parade encourages reflection on what could arise following the collapse of authoritarian regimes. It paves the way for novel approaches to anthropological concepts that resist easy definition, offering original forms for underrepresented perspectives, local futuristic visions, and collaborative intelligences across different lifeforms. @Christianborg Castle + Black Star Square, Osu – Accra.
