An Afrofuturist exploration of climate change, land rights and the strength of West Africa’s Ashanti people, who originate from present-day Ghana.
Multidisciplinary artist and musician Serwah Attafuah weaves past, present and future into an Afrofuturist vision of resilience and reclamation in The Darkness Between the Stars. Across five screens, female warriors rise from burning slave castles and shipwrecked colonial vessels, their glitch-patterned kente cloth celebrating Ghana’s matrilineal traditions. These avatars honour Yaa Asantewaa, the Queen Mother who led the Ashanti uprising against British forces in 1900, and embody a defiant march towards liberation.
Gold – sacred to Ghanaians as a bridge between ancestors, the living and future generations – anchors this work. Once exploited by colonisers who dubbed Ghana the ‘Gold Coast’, today 98% of Ghana’s gold remains controlled by global corporations. Attafuah’s frames, crafted from repurposed e-waste and painted gold, reference this legacy while pointing to Agbogbloshie, Accra’s infamous e-waste dump.

The next day&#39;s trip to Melbourne ～ The 100-year steam train sits in a semi-open carriage and the legs can be hung free outside the car to feel the breeze and fresh air in the mountains If you are hungry for a trip away from the hustle and bustle and return to nature This Melbourne 100-year steam train is absolutely amazing For not to miss it is not only a simple journey, but also an intimate dialogue with history and nature. There is a souvenir shop as soon as you enter the mouth. The refrigerator stickers inside are super nice. The children bought several, beautiful and inexpensive. Because the steam train is about an hour, it is best to go to the bathroom first after entering the exit. After entering the train, you have to sit on the right hand side of the train direction. Many net red photos are taken here. The view is very good. I feel free and comfortable when I sit on the train. Children like 😘

It is still very beautiful to watch the sunset on the observation deck, but you have to go up early and occupy a favorable position, otherwise there are too many people and you can&#39;t see the sunset. The scenery of the red glow after sunset reflected on the surrounding high-rise buildings is also very photogenic.

The location of the Melbourne Aquarium is very good, just on the banks of the Yarra River in the city center, and most urban hotels can be reached. The aquarium is quite rich in variety, there are some interactive programs, and there are also supporting restaurants. It takes about 3 hours to finish shopping.

There is not much to see. Compared with the big museums in China, the layout and design are backward. The part introducing Melbourne&#39;s history is not bad, and the introduction of Aboriginal history and culture is also quite distinctive. The commentary of the dinosaur story is quite vivid. In short, if you take your children there and have enough time, you can visit it.

Melbourne Zoo
