1. “Tutu Wɔ Bi Ka” Heritage Centre — Ghana

On 8 September 2025, Ghana’s historic town of Tutu in the Eastern Region unveiled the “Tutu Wɔ Bi Ka” Heritage Centre, a groundbreaking initiative and centerpiece of the Unfolding Cultural Heritage (UCH) project. More than just a museum, this center embodies a vibrant collaboration between Ghanaian communities and international partners, illustrating how culture can serve as a bridge across continents.

2. A Creative Collaboration: Ghana and Italy Unite

The UCH project springs from a dynamic partnership between Ghana’s ArtLife Matters and Italy’s Fondazione Pianoterra. Together, they are working to preserve, share, and celebrate Ghana’s cultural heritage through modern, community-centered approaches.

3. Empowering the Grassroots

• A multilingual picture book chronicling Tutu’s history and culture
• Field recordings and soundscapes of traditional practices
• Three vibrant community murals co-designed with local artists

4. Voices of Inspiration

Eric Agyare, Director of ArtLife Matters:

“Our heritage lives not only in monuments but in the hearts of our people.”

He emphasizes the role of the Heritage Centre as a living hub for education and exchange.

5. A Living Hub for the Future

The Heritage Centre is conceived as an evolving space where Ghanaian youth and international visitors can engage with stories, artifacts, and performances — not as passive spectators but as active participants.

6. Conclusion: Culture in Motion

The “Tutu Wɔ Bi Ka” Heritage Centre is more than an archive — it is a bold statement about the power of cultural collaboration to shape our collective future.
