ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Nana-Kofi Kufuor
During this creative process I have lost some fear and found a little hope. It’s nice to see others almost in the same boat. The lack of talking to other people in the same situation can make you feel very alone but through this I have realised we’re kind of all in this together which is sad but nice. If I could go back to the start of this pandemic and do something different I’d tell myself this isn’t going to be over as quickly as I thought. Thus, kinda preparing myself for the long term as opposed to the naïve notion this would be a short term thing.
