The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced plans to commission Ghanaian artists to display their works at the country’s embassies and high commissions around the world.
According to the Minister, the initiative aims to promote Ghana’s rich cultural heritage and creative talent on the global stage through art and visual storytelling.
Mr. Ablakwa revealed the plan after a courtesy visit from renowned Ghanaian visual artist and architect, Sharon Dede Padi, who recently set a Guinness World Record for creating the largest leaf print painting.
Speaking on the initiative, the Minister explained that Ghana’s diplomatic missions will be transformed into spaces that showcase the creativity and artistic identity of the country.
“We are going to commission our celebrated Ghanaian artists to showcase their extraordinary talent at our embassies and high commissions across the world,” he stated.
The initiative is expected to strengthen Ghana’s cultural diplomacy by highlighting the works of local artists in diplomatic spaces across different countries.
Officials believe the move will not only project Ghana’s artistic excellence internationally but also position the country as a centre for creativity and innovation.
