EXHIBITIONGAGREEKGOD AND MUSAH SWALLAH PRESENTS THE AFRICAN CHILD: A PHOTOGRAPHY AND PAINTING EXHIBITION
05/06/2014 – 26/06/2014GOETHE-INSTITUT GHANA
Photographer Tacitus Nana-Yabani
and Musah Swallah present their
“African Child Project” at Goethe-
Institut as a combination of
photographs and mixed material
artworks, made of repurposed
wooden panels and uses glass,
plastic bottles, pieces of cloth, and
other recycled materials.. The main
idea of the African Child Project
came from an original vision with a
focus on children and the beauty of
life. Children then and now work to
feed themselves and sacrifi ce their
education just to survive. The artists can identify with the happiness of
the children, but also with the challenges they face.
Tacitus Nana-Yabani remembers what it was like as a child for him, as he
dropped out of school and needed to fend for himself until he met mentor
Wanlov and started pursuing photography. Baba Musah Swallah is a
freelance professional artist born and raised in the community of Nima in
Accra. His mentors were Mozzay and Akirash.

What happens when adoption turns into an industry with the aim to
alleviate the Western world’s childlessness, forgetting about helping the
children and families? Mercy Mercy is a character-driven global tale on the
catastrophic consequences of a choice made with the best intentions and
out of love for two children: We follow the adoption on both sides of the
globe, from the biological parents’ new life to their children’’s experiences
in their new family.

The Expedition to the End of the World is a fi lm about the origins of the
world, the end of human civilization and life on earth once we are gone.
A road movie into unknown region of the globe and mind – on an Arctic
schooner heavily armed with art and science bound for the most spectacu-
lar nature in Northeast Greenland, Manmade speed and effi ciency confront
the power of ice but no matter how far we travel and how hard we try to
fi nd answers, the ultimate confrontation is with ourselves and our transi-
ence as a species.

FILMCELEBRATING PINA BAUSCH01/08/2014 - 31/08/2014GOETHE-INSTITUT GHANA
It began with controversy: in 1973 Pina Bausch was appointed director of
dance for the Wuppertal theatres and the form she developed in those
early years, a mixture of dance and theatre, was wholly unfamiliar. In her
performances the players did not merely dance; they spoke, sang - and
sometimes they cried or laughed too. Dance theatre evolved into a unique
genre, inspiring choreographers throughout the world and infl uencing
theatre and classical ballet too. Its global success can be attributed to the
fact that Pina Bausch made a universal need the key subject of her work:
the need for love, for intimacy and emotional security. To this end she
developed an artistic form which could incorporate highly diverse cultural
infl uences. Over the thirty-six years in which Pina Bausch shaped the
work of the Tanztheater Wuppertal, till her death in 2009, she created a
an oeuvre which casts an unerring gaze at reality, while simultaneously
giving us the courage to be true to our own wishes and desires.
Her unique ensemble, rich with varied personalities, will continue to
maintain these values in the years to come.
We set aside the month of August to celebrate and honour this great
German woman choreographer with books and fi lm screenings on some of
her works. Below are the dates for the fi lm screening. You may also visit
the Goethe-Institut Library for books on Pina Bausch.

THURSDAY FILMCAFÉ MÜLLER07/08/2014, 7PMGOETHE-INSTITUT GHANA
Pina Bausch | 1978 | 50 Min
The rhythm of a Pina Bausch piece is obsessively regular. Bursts
of violence are followed by long stillness. Bits of business are
systematically repeated, sometimes with increasing urgency but more
often with no variation at all. At every repetition, less is revealed,
and the action that looked gratuitous to begin with dissolves into
meaningless frenzy. “Café Müller,” which opened the Bausch season
and set the pattern for it, is thirty-fi ve minutes long and feels ninety;
its subject is duration, and repetition is its only device. The café--
apparently meant to resemble a real place--seems to be the canteen of
a mental hospital. A small cast of inmates gives us intermittent doses
of violent/apathetic behavior while a woman who may be a visitor
scurries noisily about in high-heeled shoes. Music from Purcell’s operas
drifts over the loudspeakers, doing its best to solemnize the goings on.
“Café Müller,” with its thin but fl ashy shtick, is a how-to-make-theatre
handbook. It enshrines the amateur’s faith in psychopathy as drama.

Three years before her death, Pina Bausch and the Wuppertal Dance
Theater came to a phenomenon of their own world success on the track.
ARCHITECTURAL LECTURESTONES TELL STORIES IN OSU
25/08/2014, 7PMGOETHE-INSTITUT GHANA
One of Professor Dr. Ing. Henry Nii-Adziri Wellington main research topics
is the link between Ghanaian and Danish history and heritage. “Stones tell
Stories in Osu - Memories of a Host Community of the Danish Trans-Atlantic
Slave Trade” is a book based on research fi ndings obtained in 2007 after
an architectural and community history research had been conducted at
Osu, in Germany and in Denmark from 2005 to 2007 on the Danish period
in Ghana from 1665 to 1850. The research undertaken to write this book,
was motivated and inspired by a book titled “Coast of Slaves” written by
a Danish author who had tried to interpret archival materials to explain
the Danish involvement in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, which was
operated from Christiansborg at Osu from the 17th century to the year
1850, when the Danes sold out their interests and properties to the British
administration in the then Gold Coast.
“Stones Tell Stories at Osu” after having taken about four years to be
completed, was published and launched on 21st November, 2011 by the
SubSaharan Publishers with a Danish Government funded assistance from
the Ghana Cultural Fund.
