Every year the world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8. This year, African Women's Development Fund (AWDF) and Alliance Francaise (Ghana) will celebrate the day with a series of activities including a concert with award-winning musician, Sia Tolno at the Alliance Francaise.

The celebrations start at 6.30 pm with an art exhibition and reception themed, “Young African Women, Inspiring Futures”, featuring Adowa Amoah, Co-Director of the Foundation for Contemporary Art (FCA) and Fatric Bewong, a painter. Although Adwoa’s medium is primarily painting, she experiments with installations and photography, which extends her language of expression to reflect contemporary situations. Fatric is a contemporary artist whose work incorporates a multifaceted approach to the vibrant colours, textures and rhythms of Ghana’s social landscape.
