An unforgettable evening at Berj Gallery ✨
In celebration of Ewuresi Archer’s debut solo exhibition, A Love Letter With Teeth, we hosted an intimate private dinner experience in collaboration with Beyond Accra—bringing together art, storytelling, and culinary expression under one roof.
Guests were welcomed into the gallery for a multi-course dining experience that unfolded alongside powerful conversations. The evening traced Ewuresi’s residency in Busua—its beauty, tension, and layered realities—while also opening dialogue around the future of Berj Busua and its evolving role as an artist-led, community-rooted space.
We were honored to host distinguished guests including the Deputy CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Abeiku Santana.

From conversations on artistic process and cultural narrative to insights into Berj Busua and Beyond Accra’s work shaping tourism through curated experiences, the night embodied a shared vision: positioning Ghana as a destination where art, place, and storytelling intersect meaningfully.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special evening of connection, reflection, and celebration. 🖤

Join Us! on Sunday, 26th April for “A Love Letter with Teeth”, an upcoming solo exhibition by Ewuresi Archer, curated by Nana Yaa Poku Asare-Boadu.
What begins in beauty does not stay there. Drawn to Busua by the sea, the light, and the seduction of village life, Archer entered through longing. What followed was something more fractured: conversations, debris, humor, exhaustion, intrusion, contradiction, and the slow collapse of the postcard image.
Her paintings, prints, and crochet-based sculptural forms hold these encounters in all their mess. Waste gathers. Memory sticks. Men swarm like flies. Beauty never gets to remain innocent for long.
In A Love Letter with Teeth, Archer gives us Busua as lived experience rather than fantasy, a place where pleasure and unease, intimacy and disturbance, tenderness and rot sit side by side.
Archer began her artistic journey at Akosombo International School, where she studied visual art and was introduced to traditional ceramics, painting, and graphic design. She later moved to the United States to attend the Cleveland Institute of Art, where she earned her BFA in Painting with an emphasis in Printmaking and a concentration in Creative Writing in 2022. She was awarded first prize in the Realism category at the inaugural Paul and Norma Tikkanen Painting Prize that same year. Across her practice, .archer Archer places Ghanaian culture at the center, celebrating its vibrancy while remaining attentive to the tensions of its coexistence with Western influence.

We are excited to share the conclusion of Ewuresi Archer’s 8-week residency under the Residency Re-sourced initiative with the gallery in the fishing village of Busua.

Ghanaian-American artist, Ewuresi Archer’s practice lies between the duality of distance and intimacy. Living outside of Ghana for nearly seven years has sharpened her nostalgia for the rituals, aesthetics, and rhythms of home.

During her residency, Busua began to reveal itself to Archer, its beauty: the sea, the light, the pace of village life, the thrill of being inside a place that was still unfolding. This exhibition follows that experience. It takes us through Busua not as postcard, but as lived experience, seductive, unstable, funny, heavy, and at times brutal. Across painting, print, and crochet based sculpture, Archer traces a place where beauty and debris, pleasure and exhaustion, intimacy and unease exist all at once, pushing against the fantasy of paradise. Each work becomes both a homage and an inquiry, a way of relearning what was once taken for granted, and of resisting the lingering effects of colonial erasure.

Ewuresi Archer will be presenting her debut solo exhibition with Berj Gallery, curated by Nana Yaa Poku Asare-Boadu.
From April 26 to June 7, 2026, discover the artist’s work in our Accra gallery. This exhibition is supported by the Joyce Quashie Memorial Foundation, and the Goethe-Institut Nigeria.

The Joyce Quarshie Foundation proudly reflects on a successful opening of Take What You Need. And Then Some at Berj Busua, held during Ghana’s Independence Day celebrations and in the vibrant spirit of the Asa Baako Festival 🌊✨
Hosted at – Busua, this landmark exhibition brought together the powerful practices of four women artists—Adjoba Marie, Akpene Enyonam, Ewuresi Archer, and Patience Kofuma Annan—whose works explore African temporalities, memory, and becoming.
Spearheaded under the Hannah Kudjoe Initiative, and curated by Kukua Kweku-Badu, the opening transformed Busua into a sacred, intimate space of reflection, rhythm, and collective presence—where past, present, and future met in powerful dialogue.
We are grateful to the community, festival visitors, and all who joined us to honor women’s voices, history, and forward-looking narratives. The exhibition remains on view through May 4, 2026.

Berj Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Take What You Need. And Then Some, in Busua on Friday, March 6, 2026. This exhibition presents African notions of temporalities through the work of contemporary artists Adjoba Marie, Akpene Enyonam, Ewuresi Archer, and Patience Kofuma Annan. Reflecting on Okwui Enwezor’s inquiry on “how we think historically in the present” when talking about the contemporary, the artists, whilst working within present contexts, draw from the engagement of the past to the now and its evolution, in an attempt to stake a claim about what that time entailed, and their own positions in history. Their works provide us with elements of answers that point to a multiplicity of ways of being in time — in particular, to the awareness of what it is to be in the present whilst being alert to the presence of other kinds of time. They present a rhythm of events that consciously bend time and space to match our ancient history with the present and the future.

Join us for the opening reception from 5–9pm and experience a sacred space where multitudes of pictorial contributions converge to create a powerful, safe, and intimate environment.

Curated by Kukua Kweku-Badu, the exhibition will be on view through May 4, 2026.

Berj Gallery, Accra extends heartfelt appreciation to everyone who joined us for the opening reception of Moving Without Moving, the first solo exhibition by Kwabena Fordjour.

Set against a backdrop of ushers dressed as figures from the Miss Ghana series and a crowd flowing in like a bustling 5pm bus station, the evening unfolded in the same rhythm as Fordjour’s work—where motion, pause, and human connection coexist.

This new body of work delves into Accra’s mobility culture, revealing the vulnerability, beauty, and inequities embedded in everyday commute. Through rich impasto, vivid colour, and layered textures, Fordjour captures episodic moments of urban life: busy terminals, shared routes, quiet waiting spaces, and the intimate interactions that bind us in our daily movement. His scenes invite viewers into an introspective journey—where the city’s congestion, rhythms, and communal travel become a mirror of how we hold ourselves in a fast-paced age.

Thank you for celebrating this powerful moment with us.
Moving Without Moving continues until December 3, 2025.

Berj Gallery is excited to present “Moving Without Moving,” the debut solo exhibition of Kwabena Fordjour, opening on Sunday, November 2, 2025, curated by Kukua Kweku-Badu.

This body of work is a presentation of episodic scenes that together explore the vulnerability of everyday motion in Accra—including its beauty both in imagery and narrative—as a vehicle for highlighting inequities in urban mobility.

Delving into the socio-economic impact of urban vehicular motion cycles on daily commuters. Moving Without Moving offers a tender yet resolute meditation on the social and economic culture of movement in urban spaces, by capturing the fragile pauses within daily commute. His works transport you through the lively streets and busy bus terminals, where the daily cadences intertwine with the enduring practice of communal travels, giving one a sort of nostalgic experience. Kwabena Fordjour in this body of work, reminds us that movement seldom means constant motion, but most often found within the pauses are spaces of quiet dialogues, unfolding monologues and waiting.

Join us for the opening reception on Sunday, November 2, from 5–9pm at Berj Gallery, Accra, and experience a site of reflection and introspection inspired by the bustling energy of city life.

The exhibition will be on view through December 3, 2025.

Edwin Adokwei Boye b. 1997 is a Ghanaian Photographer and Visual Artist specializing in Afro-Surrealist Collages and sustainable practices using textile waste.

In Discarded Stories I & II, Adokwei Boye works with textile waste gathered from the beaches of Accra, Kantamanto Market, and the Agbogbloshie landfill, turning what has been cast off into vessels of memory and renewal. Each piece of cloth, once worn by someone unknown, holds the quiet weight of a life lived, carrying traces of personal history that may never be uncovered. To Boye, these fabrics are far more than waste; they are silent witnesses of human journeys, loss, and displacement. Through careful fabric manipulation, he gives these materials a second life. The worn textures, frayed edges, and stains are not erased but embraced, becoming part of the work’s story. Layers of paint seep into the weave of the fabric, binding pigment with fiber in a way that echoes both the endurance and the fragility of memory itself.
Discarded Stories I & II, on view in BERJ Accra.
