As part of the public art project, SPACES: International Artist Residency Initiative, The Village of Arts and Humanities will hold a series of open mics hosted by artist-in-residence Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh. The events are open to the public and encourage local artists and community members to participate in a night of music, poetry, and dance.
The SPACES: International Artist Residency Initiative invites two accomplished West African social practice artists, Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh and Olanre Tejuoso, to participate in a nine-month residency in which they will engage community members through facilitated dialogue and design and execute a multi-part project that re-contextualizes various forms of "space"—physical, mental, and socially-constructed.
