ABOUT

Postbox Ghana unpacks the narratives embedded in vintage postcards and stamps from Ghana.
It is a collection of visual references and an exploration of collective memory through the aesthetic possibilities of material culture: a time machine dedicated to the vibrancy of Ghana and its people, and a learning exercise.

We collect, research and share documents in an attempt to reveal narratives contained in communications sent from Ghana in the decades of the country's Independence (1957). We aim to make available a growing number of visual materials from defining years for the African continent and beyond.

As a joint piece of research on the wide topic of narratives, representation and architecture, Postbox Ghana is multi-directional, incomplete, and embracing change as we discover new old forms of holding memory.
