Some of the labour used to build Ghana’s railways came from the north of the country but there’s never been a railway in the region.
But award-winning visual artist Ibrahim Mahama, in one of his latest installations, is interrogating this phenomenon. He has brought a piece of a railway track, train carriages and even planes to his Red Clay Studio in Tamale.
His work at Red Clay Studio has been the subject of a new film documentary by Dutch filmmaker Ammodo Docs called 'Dear Home of Scars'.
In the second of a two-part conversation with Ibrahim, we find out more about why he now owns one of the food silos created by Dr Kwame Nkrumah, and why he’s turning abandoned trains carriages into schools for the youngsters in the Tamale area.
Have you listened to our first interview with Ibrahim?
