One subject I plan to base a lot of my project around is the ‘Akan World View’. As someone who originated from the Akan/Ashanti peoples I have been learning more and more about my cultures history and belief system that was taken away from my family after slavery, it is one of my life goals to re-instate these ways of being into my lifestyle and practice.

‘In Akan cosmology there is The Akan cosmos, like other African peoples, is divided into “two inter-penetrating and inseparable, yet distinguishable, parts”3, namely, the world of spirits and the world of human’
This will show itself in my piece as hopefully a strong divide in the piece. I want my piece to show the spiritual behind the physical, everyday nature of city life.
