COME, AND LET'S LOVE AND PROTECT EACH OTHER

What If We Love & Protect Each Other? is not a question — it is a practice, an offering, and a collective act of resistance.

What If We Love & Protect Each Other is a space of celebration and remembrance: it honours the present vitality of queer life while acknowledging the histories often erased or suppressed that have made this moment possible.

Rooted in a nexus of mutualism, W’AHU, Wahu Magazine in collaboration with the (DAP) Digital archive project gh and pIAR perforcraZe International Artist Residency, brings together archival traces and contemporary artistic interventions. Through acts of reclamation, reinterpretation, and reimagination, these works confront hegemonic narratives and reaffirm the multiplicity of queer experiences in Ghana.

Featuring Ato Kwamina Hasford, Baahwa, Eden Oyeoku, Essel Ekuban, and Naa Nuerkie, these artists work across sound, textiles, performance and photography, engaging with sites of collective memory, reimagining our connections as ecosystems of care, where protection and support enable resilience and growth.

This exhibition becomes both a sanctuary and a proposition. It holds space for reflection, mourning, affirmation, and imagination of what becomes possible when we choose to love and protect one another.

LOVE WINS
