THE CALL OF THE ANCESTORS: A Powerful Journey Through Art, Identity and Heritage
Ghana’s vibrant art scene is set to welcome a bold new voice as emerging visual artist Zamo Art unveils his debut solo exhibition, The Call of the Ancestors, in collaboration with Buddy’z Bar & Grill in Osu.
Running from 30th May to 13th June 2026, the exhibition promises an immersive artistic experience that explores identity, spirituality, ancestry and the unseen connection between the past and the present.
The official opening night will take place on 30th May 2026 from 7:00PM to 9:00PM at Buddy’z Bar & Grill, Osu Lokko Street, bringing together art lovers, creatives, cultural enthusiasts and the wider Accra community for an unforgettable evening of expression and storytelling.
For Zamo Art, this exhibition is more than a showcase of paintings, it is a deeply personal and emotional unveiling of purpose, heritage and creative awakening.
“The ancestors called. I answered with paint.”
Those words capture the spirit behind the collection: a body of work inspired by African roots, memory, symbolism and the silent voices that continue to guide generations through culture, resilience and identity.
