Peace begins with owning our mistakes.
To truly know God, we must face our sins.
And to honor humanity, we must stand for equality. 🙏🏾

Did you know? These powerful sculptures honor the memory of enslaved African ancestors who lost their lives by drowning in rivers, lakes, and the Atlantic Ocean. ✊🏼🇬🇭

“Nkyinkyim” is both an Adinkra symbol and a proverb. It reflects the journeys of our ancestors — from where they migrated to the forced paths of enslavement.

“These are the faces of our ancestors caught in the horrors of slavery. I aim to reflect their pain, their stories, and the strength they carried. Each sculpture represents a different narrative, tribe, and state of being before their capture… I want this installation to serve as a reminder — of our greatness, what we lost, and the greatness we can reclaim.”
— Kwame Akoto-Bamfo

Ghanaian artist Kwame Akoto-Bamfo leads the Ancestor Project, crafting haunting portraits of Africans who were imprisoned, kidnapped, or coerced into slavery.

Location: Nkyinkyim Museum, Ada Foah — Ghana

President Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso stated via X/Twitter:

"We will never bend our backs in the face of adversity; we will stand firm until our peoples are truly emancipated. With you, we are certain that victory over the forces of evil is at hand."

He expressed his gratitude to peace-loving, freedom-seeking patriots and pan-Africanists around the world who, on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, rallied in solidarity with Burkina Faso’s commitment and vision for a new nation — and a new Africa — free from imperialism and neo-colonialism.
