BGF Studios presents
A new creative project shedding light on the profound significance of African women in the creative industry.
PURPOSE
A study by ArtTactic found that only 7% of the top 500 artists in Africa’s art market are women, highlighting the gender disparity that persists in the industry.
In addition, limited funding, lack of mentorship, and minimal government support create barriers to growth, especially for women.
MISSION
Obaasima is an interdisciplinary research project with a mission to shed light on the profound significance of African women in the creative industry.
The project aims to generate new knowledge of creative and cultural industries across the continent.
We hope to enhance the cultural imprint of African women through collaboration, connection and co-creation.
LAUNCHING IN GHANA
In January 2025, Obaa Sima will kick off in Accra, Ghana with the first of a series of events designed to elevate and support African women in the creative industry.
In collaboration with Palm Moments, we invite artists, creative entrepreneurs and thought leaders to join us for a night of inspiration, celebration, and networking.
Expect to engage in a panel discussion with women in Ghana’s creative fields who will share their journeys, insights, and dreams for the future.
Stay for networking, food, drinks and music.
