What does "culture" mean for the citizens of a community in Ghana today? How does one engage the citizens of such a community who see local traditional authority–the chief–as the custodian of culture in thinking about a more democratic process of (re)presenting culture? How does one engage the citizens of a complex multi-ethnic community who have never thought about sharing their culture with other people in a dialogue about why and how they might present their cultures and heritages to their neighbors and to visitors to their community? This presentation offers reflections on recent collaborative efforts developing Techiman's first cultural center. Presented by Jennifer Beyer, Anne Compton, Henrike Florusbosch, Ricardo Punzalan, and Ray Silverman, Professor of African Art and Director of the Museum Studies Program.
