CHALE WOTE 2018 Slated For August 20

The 2018 edition of the annual CHALE WOTE festival will take place between August 20- 26, 2018.

Organizers are expecting this year’s event to bring together people from all walks of life who appreciate artists and their art.

Over the last seven years, the festival has propelled the development of independent creative artists and the arts economy in Accra.

The CHALE WOTE Street Art Festival is an alternative platform that brings art, music, dance and performance out into the streets.

It gives artists the platform to showcase their paintings, sculptures,

photographs, films, fashion, mixed media, comedy, culinary arts, music, and dance.

CHALE WOTE literally translated to ‘Friend lets go’ in the Ghanaian language Ga. It also means flip-flops in Ghana.

The festival is organised by ACCRA [dot] ALT and REDD KAT Pictures.

They are however in collaboration with a number of cultural organisations across the city.
