Title

Abstract

Abstract: According to Tola (2017), statues are three-dimension images that are constructed mainly to commemorate or remember a person or important event, or which has become important to a social group as a part of their remembrance of historic times or cultural heritage, or as an example of historic architecture. Commemorations range from individuals to groups, events, etc. whose contribution and the impact reaches entire society or culture or groups. The effective use of sculptured artworks for commemoration has been demonstrated in the public space in many cities, towns and even villages around the world. In this respect, the events of the taking away of the natives of the West African Territories across the Atlantic have amply commemorated the erection of the group statues at the foreground of Fort William, another imposing reminder of the legacies the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The objective of this project was to create a collection of sculptures representing the “Year of Return” theme as capture in the terms of reference of the Ghana Tourism Authority. The works were created in Kumasi, in the Ashanti region and moved to the site at Anomabo in the Central region where they were mounted.
