Commemorative art works on a symbolic journey to Afadzato
Two Iconic art pieces are making a 200-kilometre journey on foot to Afadzato to mark the beginning of a four-day Africa transformational leadership event. The works are a portrait of Winnie Mandela made by Isaac Ayertey entirely of clothes buttons, and the other a detailed depiction of Afua Nyarkoa, produced with beads by Florence Sottie, a Ghanaian lady from Anomabo, and which was adjudged best entry for the project. About 60 volunteers, in turns, are conveying the works on foot across the terrain to the Afadzato (Mountain), which is referred to as the Akwapim-Togo mountain, lying along the Ghana-Togo border, and among the highest in Africa.
