Book launch Sika Kokoo by Kwabena Appiah-nti
On Thursday 21 October, Foam Talent Kwabena Appiah-nti launches his book Sika Kokoo in Foam Editions. Kwabena will be present to sign the book which visualises his first experience with his fatherland Ghana.
About the book
Sika Kokoo showcases the contemporary Ghanaian culture, alongside its immense heritage. 'Sika Kokoo' means red money in the Ghanaian Twi language, but translates to gold in English. Gold objects have a lot of symbolism in the Ghanaian culture and they portray different proverbs. In Akan culture, gold is considered an earthly counterpart to the sun and the physical manifestation of life’s vital force: Kra (the soul).
