A guide to Accra: the heart of Africa's art scene
Accra took centre stage in National Geographic Traveller (UK) with a feature that crowned the city as the “heart of Africa’s art scene.” From street murals and gallery openings to artists’ studios hidden in residential lanes, the article captured a metropolis alive with creativity and contradiction.
Against this backdrop, Elle Lokko appeared as one of the city’s most memorable stops — a boutique-meets-cultural hub in Osu that threads together fashion, art, design, and community. Alongside names like Gallery 1957, ADA, and Artemartis, Elle Lokko was positioned as part of Accra’s vital new ecosystem — the places and people reshaping the narrative of Ghanaian creativity on the global stage.
National Geographic’s insider guide affirmed what we’ve always known: in Accra, art isn’t confined to galleries — it spills onto pavements, into cafes, and across boutiques like ours, making the everyday extraordinary.
