Patti Waldmeir in the Financial Times: “I fell in love with Ghana 50 years ago.”
We are delighted that Courage Hunke, along with Selassie Gomado of the Artemartis Collective, was featured in a new article by Patti Waldmeir for the Financial Times. The insightful article was beautifully captured by photographer Fiifi Abban and sheds light on Ghana’s dynamic contemporary art scene and the path it is currently forging. The piece celebrates not only individual talent but also genuine collaboration and the vibrant creative energy emanating from Accra and the Ghanaian art scene.

“Until recently, there seemed to be no stopping contemporary art in Africa. Prices skyrocketed. That has changed. All the more reason to take a closer look at rising stars like Courage Hunke from Ghana.” Article AFRICA'S CONTEMPORARY ART: The hype is over – what now? by Alexandra Wach in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on August 16, 2025, which examined current market trends and the important role of galleries in promoting young artists in this promising field.
Courage Hunke (born in 2000 in Ashaiman, Ghana) lives and works in Accra. Hunke follows in the footsteps of Amoako Boafo and is one of a select few mentees at the Dot.Ateliers residency in the South Labadi district of Accra, which was founded by Boafo in 2022.
