Abstract
My work is described, conventionally, as “abstract.” However, given that there is a very precise, knowable set of resources at the back of it, I would describe it rather as schematic: not like a map, but like a reaction to or interpretation of a map. It is about ownership, a way to finding myelf, where I am. In that sense my work enhances a viewing of Kumasi and Ghana … my work is the outcome of a series of engagements be - tween practices, forms and visual environments that are specific to me in Ghana (Kwami 2013: 355–60).
期刊介绍：
African Arts is devoted to the study and discussion of traditional, contemporary, and popular African arts and expressive cultures. Since 1967, African Arts readers have enjoyed high-quality visual depictions, cutting-edge explorations of theory and practice, and critical dialogue. Each issue features a core of peer-reviewed scholarly articles concerning the world"s second largest continent and its diasporas, and provides a host of resources - book and museum exhibition reviews, exhibition previews, features on collections, artist portfolios, dialogue and editorial columns. The journal promotes investigation of the connections between the arts and anthropology, history, language, literature, politics, religion, and sociology.
