Continuity and Innovation of a Vanishing Textile Heritage

Final Exhibition – Spinning Stories Nubuke Centre in Accra / Ghana

Karin Altmann and Nana Opoku

26 February – 28 March 2026

The final exhibition at Nubuke Centre in Accra / Ghana marks the conclusion of the INTRA project SPINNING STORIES – LIVING ARCHIVES, and brings together artistic and research-based works by Karin Altmann und Nana Opoku, who bridge traditional spinning practices in Ghana and Austria through women’s narratives.

Archives are not understood as static repositories, but as spaces of knowledge, as living, evolving constellations that conceive of archives as relational, performative and collective practices and processes.

Storytelling operates as a mode of knowledge production in which memories, life stories and materiality are spun, interwoven and shared – and continue to move beyond the project’s conclusion.
