GhScientific: Evolution of science in Ghana (Past, present, future)

The 'evolution of science' is a science and arts exhibition project that will capture how scientific and medical research has evolved over the years in Ghana since independence in 1957 - 2017 and the impact on human lives. Local artists will be paired with scientists who will collaborate to bring the scientific research to life via painting/sculptures and photography. The project will be used as an outreach and engagement tool to provoke conversations and an appreciation of scientific and medical research. The final collection will be showcased at a number of venues, carefully selected to capture a diverse audience across various locations. Each exhibition venue will host an open forum Q and A type event with invited scientists and historians to discuss the collection and the future of scientific and medical research in the country. It will also give the community a platform to engage in dialogue with scientists about the nature of their research. An online archive of the collection will be created and the collection will eventually be housed at the National science museum where school groups and other members of the public can freely access and continue to use the exhibits as an education tool.
