The Nederlands Scheepvaartmuseum Amsterdam opened its doors on 20th September for the exhibition Slaves and Ships- One way ticket, destination unknown. De exhibition sheds light on the trade in slaves. But this time, from the point of view of slave-traders and those who kept slaves. Without ships it would have been virtually impossible for the slave trade between Africa and America to take place.
The exhibition concludes by looking at the consequences the slavetrade has had on the Surinamese and the Antillean descendants of the slaves and the Dutch society. There would also be special activities like the exhibition of the Antillean artist Geraldo Pinedo. On 2nd November there would be a symposium in the frame of the exhibition entitled Leed gemeten? (Pain Measured?). The amazingly illustrated book of the exhibition would be presented on this day.

THE VIBRANT ART OF GHANA
05-10-2001 t/m 06-01-2002
To mark the third centenary of ties between the Netherlands and present-day Ghana, the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague is launching a fascinating exhibition of Ghanaian art. Its scope extends beyond the art of the Akan peoples of Ghana to contemporary painting and photography. A wide-ranging display of fashion shows how African costume has influenced Western couturiers and vice versa.
The exhibition will occupy an entire floor. A magnificent collection of Akan cultural items, ranging from wooden and earthenware sculptures to gold and gilded objects, jewellery and textile art will be displayed in the rooms surrounding the fashion gallery. These objects will be grouped in ten themes relating to Ghanaian culture: history, slavery, status and power, language, ancestors, fertility, parades, music, foreign influences, fashion and hairstyles.
Modern Ghanaian art is represented by three artists: the painter George O. Hughes and the photographers Philip Kwame Apagya and Francis Provençal. For the last six years Hughes has lived in the United States, and his work is influenced by 20th-century European painters such as Francis Bacon. Apagya and Provençal still live and work in Ghana, recording daily life there. Last year, works by Apagya were shown at Pleidooi voor Intuïtie (Plea for Intuition), the first exhibition mounted by Wim van Krimpen after being appointed director of the Gemeentemuseum.
The display in the fashion gallery reveals mutual influences between Africa and Europe. Fashion designers such as Sonia Delaunay, Yves St Laurent, Issey Myake, John Galliano, Louis Féraud and Gianfranco Ferré have been inspired by colourful and rhythmic African designs, like their collegues in Ghana: Kofi Ansah, Jimi Delaja, Tetteh Adzedu, jewelry designer Kati Torda Dagadu en shoe designer Kwesi Nti. But the ties between the Dutch textile industry and Ghana go back much further. The Dutch firm Vlisco has been producing fabric for the Ghanaian market since the 19th century. This cloth is used in Ghanaian traditional costume, with its flowing draperies. Each year the Helmond-based firm produces new fabrics and designs. As a result, Holland is a familiar concept in Ghana. The aim of this exhibition is to raise the profile of Ghana, and more especially its art, in the Netherlands.

EXHIBITION OF GHANAIAN ARTISTS IN AMSTERDAM: AN ANNOUNCEMENT
juni 2002
The Amsterdamse Kunstuitleen (SBK) will organize an exhibition in June 2002, whereby the work of young Ghanaian artists will be presented. The exhibition will take place in the tramremise in Amsterdam. The world premiere of the project « genocide » by the famous Ghanaian sculptor Kofi Setordji will take place during this exhibition. All the 288 parts of his installation will be shown for the first time to the audience. The installation comprises of objects and images made of wood, metal, clay, sand, cloth and oil paint. Setordji was inspired for the project that he’s been working over two years, by the genocide that took place in Rwanda. But the artist emphasizes that the message of the installation is universal. A virtual exhibition of this project will take place on this site.
The exhibition concludes by looking at the consequences the slavetrade has had on the Surinamese and the Antillean descendants of the slaves and the Dutch society. There would also be special activities like the exhibition of the Antillean artist Geraldo Pinedo. On 2nd November there would be a symposium in the frame of the exhibition entitled Leed gemeten?
