Makola is more than a market. It is a living archive of women whose hands, and voices keep Accra moving. From the women who trade to the kayayei who carry, women sustain the rhythm of the market in ways that extend far beyond commerce. They carry goods, livelihoods, family responsibilities, cultural memory, and the weight of survival. Yet, how often do we pause to consider the stories behind the labour? For Sarah Emefa King @sazartz and Henry Kweku Duah @je.edoo , the curatorial vision behind Color Cure IV: She Carries the Market begins with this question. Through the work of women artists, they bring the realities of women’s labour, identity, resilience, and lived experiences into the gallery, creating space for stories that are often overlooked to be seen and considered differently. This is an invitation to look closer, to recognise the women behind the market, and to reflect on everything they carry.

What does a woman carry that the world never sees? For Liberian documentary photographer and filmmaker Cianeh A. Kpukuyou, popularly known as ASK, the answer lives in the stories we inherit, the places we leave behind, the identities we negotiate, and the memories we carry forward. Her lens captures the intimate realities of migration, motherhood, belonging, and resilience, preserving the human experiences that too often go unseen. At Color Cure IV: She Carries the Market, her practice finds a powerful connection with the lives of market women and kayayie girls, whose daily labour carries the weight of survival, responsibility, and aspiration. A basin balanced on a young woman’s head holds more than a load; it becomes a reminder of the burdens she bears, the dreams she protects, and the life she is working to build. What stories lie behind the women we pass every day? What histories, sacrifices, and ambitions remain unseen beneath the weight they carry? Discover @askphotos_ at Color Cure IV.

Nyornuwofia’s practice challenges us to #rethink how Africa learns, remembers, and imagines itself. For Color Cure IV: “She Carries the Market”, her work invites us to look beyond what women carry in their hands and consider the knowledge, histories, and possibilities they hold. The market becomes more than a place of exchange; it becomes a space of learning, identity, and African consciousness. “What does it mean for a woman to carry not just the weight of the market, but the” knowledge of a people?” Discover @nyornuwofia at Color Cure IV.

“Kwansen”, 2024 David Obeng Adane Stoneware, hand-carved, with a layered patinated finish and painted red interior H 26 x W 41 cm - Kwansen belongs to Adane’s In My Family House series, which takes its forms from the large household vessels that were central to domestic life in traditional Akan homes. The name Kwansen translates as “soup pot,” reflected in its broad, low form, deep interior well and twin handles at the rim. Vessels of this kind were used for communal serving and placed at the centre of the table.
