The tradition of Homowo started with a period of hunger leading to famine due to failure of the seasonal rains needed by crops in the Greater Accra Region, where the Ga people predominantly dwell. When the rains returned to normal, the Ga people celebrated by creating the Homowo festival, hence its name and meaning.

Black Star Square to host 13th Chale Wote Street Art festival

Ghana’s iconic Black Star Square in Accra will host the 13th Chale Wote Street Art Festival, one of Africa’s most vibrant street art festivals, from Monday, August 21 to Sunday, August 27, 2023.

The Black Star Square, its adjoining streets, and the Osu community, will witness a new wave of artists creating some of the most innovative contemporary works of art in Africa.

This, 2023 cycle of Chale Wote Street Art Festival, organisers say, “is a celebration of over a decade of offering some of the most iconic public art interventions by African artists, as well as co-creations with collaborators from across the world.”

Chale Wote literally translates to ‘Friend let’s go’ in Ga, the language of indigenes of Accra, but has come to stand for flip-flops.

The festival is highly anticipated for its surreal art, music, dance and performances on the streets of Jamestown, Accra’s old quarters.

However, the new venue, Osu, is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Accra, dating back to the early 19th century and has become an important part of the city’s commercial and cultural landscape.

The history of Osu can be traced to the late 18th century, when a group of Ga fishermen settled in the area.

Life in Colour Festival, Morrocco

In the spirit of all that is youthful, fun and vibrant in the world is the Life in Colour festival which has been described as a very messy concert that does not involve blood shed. Reason being that as the scene is being brought to life by blistering house music, fire-spinning insanity and stomach-churning contortionism, you’ll get sprayed with tons of coloured paint that’ll make you look like you had an art fight with a four-year-old. The festival will be happening on the 20th of August at the Sindibad Park in Morrocco.
