Ed Cross is delighted to present ACCRA - Memories are we are stories, a solo exhibition of works by Ermias Ekube, presented in collaboration with dot.ateliers residency in Accra, Ghana, which will benefit from 10% of the proceeds from sales - donated jointly by the artist and gallery. 

 

Ekube’s latest body of work follows on from his previous exhibition, Memories are we are memories (Ed Cross, June 2024). In this group of paintings the artist revisits his relationship with memory, shifting from memory as a reflection to memory as a narrative. Against the backdrop of his residency at dot.ateliers in Accra - the artist’s first visit to West Africa and his first return to the continent after nine years of exile in Sweden - Ekube retraces his own personal histories, intertwining them with the lived experiences of the local fishing community he encountered during his time in Ghana. ACCRA - Memories are we are stories is a multilayered meditation on identity and belonging, inviting the viewer to consider how memories are transformed by stories, and vice versa.
