Some highlights include:
Brussels African Art Center, Derrick Ofosu Boateng (shown above) an artist on the rise. His photographs, taken and edited with an iPhone, offer a stylized look at vibrant Ghana. A perspective that Boateng developed thanks to the love he has for his hometown, Accra. These works are sometimes surreal and sometimes dreamlike.
