History was made at the International Reparations Conference, Accra.
Heads of state from across Africa and the diaspora stood before The Unborn Ancestors . To every descendant and every community still carrying the weight of what was stolen this one was for you.
When the President of Ghana stands before your installation and holds your painting, art has done its job. ๐คโ๏ธ
The Unborn Ancestors โ a slavery installation created to make the world feel what history has tried to silence.

Building this tonight, link by link. Tomorrow these chains form part of the installation for the reparations conference ,but tonight, it's just me, the weight of the metal, and of what they represent. This is more than art, it's a conversation we should keep having. See you there

A profound honour to host the distinguished Ghanaian visual artist and architect, Sharon Dede Padi of Padiki Art, and to receive her prestigious Guinness World Record for the largest leaf print painting.
A true inspiration of how Ghana can take on the world and win.
As I informed her, we are going to commission our celebrated Ghanaian artists to showcase their extraordinary talent at our embassies and high commissions across the world.
Congratulations, Madam Padiki.
Padiki is a contemporary Ghanaian artist known for her innovative fusion of natural leaf prints with cultural painting. Drawing inspiration from the environment and African heritage, she integrates real leaf impressions into her artworks to create textured compositions.
