Can a work of art be tasted? Can the colours, textures, and stories captured in an artwork find expression through food? These are some of the ideas inspiring ELEMENTS: A Culinary and Artistic Journey Through Ghana.
An immersive five-course dining experience that connects food, art, and cultural storytelling together to celebrate Ghana’s land, people, and tradition, a collaboration between Ghanaian-American Chef Awo Amenumey, multimedia artist Kwame Akpokavi, and Kwae Terrace.
Scheduled for Saturday, 28 November 2026, at Kwae Terrace, Airport Residential, Accra, the event will feature an intimate five-course tasting menu curated by Chef Awo and inspired by Kwame’s Elements collection. Through the intersection of food, visual art, and storytelling, the experience seeks to offer guests a deeper appreciation of Ghana’s cultural identity, indigenous ingredients, and the traditions that connect its people to the land.
Beyond fine dining, ELEMENTS highlights the role of food and art in preserving cultural heritage and creating meaningful social connections. By bringing culinary and artistic expression into one setting, the experience invites guests to engage with Ghanaian culture in a way that goes beyond observation to personal discovery, conversation, and shared experience.
The collaboration also draws attention to the importance of indigenous West African ingredients and the communities that have cultivated and preserved them across generations. Through Chef Awo’s approach to sustainable food systems and cultural storytelling, the event encourages greater appreciation for local food knowledge, the origins of ingredients, and the relationship between food, people, and the environment.
Chef Awo Amenumey is a Ghanaian-American chef, cultural storyteller, sustainability advocate, and founder of Eh’vivi, an elevated dining experience celebrating Ghanaian cuisine. Her expertise in Sustainable Agrifood Systems, combined with experience in corporate culinary leadership, culinary education, and national media, including a featured appearance on Food Network’s Chopped, informs her commitment to making food a vehicle for cultural expression and sustainability.
For Kwame Alorlete Akpokavi, a Ghanaian multimedia artist, the collaboration creates an opportunity for his Elements collection to inspire a complementary sensory experience, connecting visual expression with the flavours, ingredients, and narratives of Ghana.
Together with Kwae Terrace, the collaborators are creating a space where culinary excellence and artistic expression meet, encouraging cultural appreciation, creative exchange, and a renewed interest in Ghana’s rich heritage.
As conversations around cultural preservation, sustainable food systems, and the visibility of African creative industries continue to grow, ELEMENTS offers an opportunity to explore how collaborations across disciplines can make Ghanaian heritage more accessible and engaging to contemporary audiences.
At a rate of GH¢1,100 per person, guests will enjoy an immersive five-course dining experience that creates a multi-sensory journey through Ghanaian creativity, culture and culinary expression.
The experience will take place on Saturday, 28 November 2026, at Kwae Terrace, Airport Residential, Accra.
