At ANO it’s always been important to us to create spaces in between, of conversation, community, creativity, joy & belonging. We’ve tried to this from our beginnings with Salon Afrique designed by at the in 2005 through the Sunsum Sessions in Accra in 2017. It was lovely to be able to host so many old & new friends for the restitution convening in Accra. Here’s to many more gatherings that fuel communion, ideas, joy, complicity alongside our work & purpose

"...In Venice, the most beautiful thing was that we got so much support. We didn't have installers, we didn't have producers; all these people kept coming in, helping us to bead things, install things, to put this thing on the ground-I mean, it was incredible.

And so we were still free to create what we needed to create, despite the obstacles and despite the constrictions that we were dealt. We still were able to put ourselves into this global narrative and have resonance." –Nana Oforiatta Ayim ()
