Curating Urban Cool
In this feature exploring the forces shaping Accra’s evolving creative landscape, City Life's Tash Morgan-Etty spotlighted Stefania Manfreda as one of the city’s key cultural curators and tastemakers.
The article traced the role of Lokko House and Elle Lokko in supporting emerging designers, artists, musicians, and creative entrepreneurs, highlighting more than a decade of community-building through retail, events, exhibitions, workshops, and mentorship.
It also explored Stefania’s vision for the future: creating pathways for women-led businesses, nurturing the next generation of creative talent, and developing a training institute designed to strengthen Ghana’s creative economy from within.
As the article observed, many creatives have had their first opportunities through the Lokko ecosystem—a testament to the belief that cultural spaces can be catalysts for discovery, collaboration, and growth.
