We are excited to announce Dela Anyah’s participation in ‘Worldmaking,’ a group exhibition with New York-based gallery, Mitchell-Innes & Nash form July 13 to August 25, 2023.

‘Worldmaking,’ featuring 10 emerging artists living and working in Ghana, is co-curated by Ghanaian artist Gideon Appah, Gallery Director for Mitchell-Innes & Nash, Ylinka Barotto. The show encompasses significant new commissions and recent work spanning painting, sculpture, photography, video and site-specific installations. 

Anyah’s work will be exhibited along side works by Rita Mawuena Benissan, Hawa Ali Awanle Ayiboro, Eric Gyamfi, Kelvin Haizel, Gideon Hanyame, Al Hassan Issah, Godelive Kasangati Kabena, Kay Kwabia, and Araba Opoku. 

Worldmaking explores the environment in light of Western consumption, architectural influences derived from years-long domination, colonial impact on ecosystems and economies, and the use of traditions as conduits to preserving the past and understanding the present. Rhizomatic in scope, ‘Worldmaking’ mirrors the richly varied artistic ecosystem in Ghana today featuring artists who by pushing the boundaries of their respective mediums formally and conceptually, contribute compelling perspectives to the discourse of contemporaneity.
