About Aketekete

‘Aketekete’ is the name of a traditional festival from Elmina in which rituals are performed to connect with ancestors and celebrate their roots.

It is an ode to the past and to never being forgotten. A connection to nature and its forms.

To celebrate culture, origins and stories otherwise lost.

We value collaborating and connecting with creatives to design modern objects with age-old techniques by supporting artisan communities to make them.
