Folklore to meet Technology, at Ananse and the Wisdom App

Animation in Africa is picking up in this decade, thanks to strides by production companies like Parables Studios who produced Ghana’s first animated feature film.

For the past 7 years, Parables has brought Ananse and it’s other animated characters to live through it’s Time With Ananse live shows.  Appreciation for the concept has been evident through massive patronage and collaborations from brands like Junior Graphic – Ghana’s foremost weekly newspaper for young people.

This year’s event according to Cecil Jones Abban – Head of Parables Studios, will mix different creative art styles such as  animation, puppetry and staged drama to uniquely introduce folklore to younger audiences and create an enjoyable family experience. Mr. Abban stated that Ananse and friends will be returning to the Silverbird Cinema – Accra Mall on 28th December 2021 to present “The Wisdom App” in two different shows slated for 2pm and 4pm.

“With each two hour show, we hope to defend our track record of presenting a live show that parents will enjoy and children will learn from”, said Mr. Cecil Jones Abban.

The Artistic Mind of a Criminal

I used to have a client who is a professor when it comes to art, paintings and antiques. He paints one portrait and makes millions out of it and that really fascinated me so much that I started doing some research into the Art, paintings and antiques industry. I discovered that the painting industry in Ghana is very small and young but elsewhere in the world, it is a huge industry which contributes significantly to the economy of these countries. The USA economy in 2014 and 2015 benefited US$730 billion and US$763.6 billion respectively from the Art, Paintings and Antiques sector(1). US$12 billion (£9.2 billion) was contributed to the UK GDP in 2016 from the Art and Painting sector(2) with Singapore’s Art and Painting contributing S$2.13 billion to the GDP in 2013(3).
