Celebrating mother's this month, Limbo Museum [@limbomuseum ] officially opened Persistent Gifts on the 30th of April, featuring a collection of paintings and sculptures by Fauziya Fliege [@artfauziya ], curated by Whitney Chinonye Ernest [@wcedoesart ]. Persistent Gifts invites us to think through the intimate latter stage of motherhood with Fauziya Fliege: ‘the nipping of the psychological umbilical cord’. The exhibition runs through May, with weekly private curatorial walkthroughs available for those who missed the opening ✨ I hope this exhibition guides your thoughts beyond the dedicated love of a remembered mother, engulfed thoroughly by her duty, to the later woman we depart(ed) from. If you’d like to book a private visit with both the artist and curator on one of our curatorial walkthrough dates, please reach out directly: @wcedoesart 📍 Location: Limbo Museum, Accra, Ghana 📅 Open daily from 10am - 5pm Hope to see you soon! 📹: @godfred.goodman

Limbo Engawa by TAELON7 (@taelon7_ ) is on view until April 12! Open daily between 10am–5pm Presented in partnership with Art Omi (@art_omi ) 📸 @godfred.goodman

In Accra, unfinished concrete structures punctuate the rapidly evolving cityscape. Neither abandoned nor complete, they exist in a state of suspended animation, quietly inhabited. This sense of in-betweenness is at the centre of Limbo Engawa, a new pavilion by @taelon7_ for the @limbomuseum in partnership with @art_omi . Designed by @juergenbensonstrohmayer the project examines how skeletal structures can interact with the surrounding landscape. Drawing on the Japanese concept of engawa, the threshold between interior and exterior, the pavilion forms a sculptural framework that activates the edges of the site, creating spaces for encounter, movement and exchange. At its centre sits an oversized woven daybed that shades, frames views and invites occupation. Inspired by everyday scenes where workers rest on woven beds during long shifts, the design reimagines this familiar object at an architectural scale. Limbo Engawa reframes unfinished buildings not as dormant structures, but as sites of possibility, showing how light-touch interventions can transform them into spaces for artistic, cultural and social activity.

Limbo Engawa, a new architectural installation by TAELON7, has been unveiled at the Limbo Museum in Accra, transforming the museum’s unfinished concrete structure into a space for gathering, rest, and social exchange. Designed under the direction of architect Juergen Benson-Strohmayer, the installation explores the overlooked spaces that exist between architecture and landscape in rapidly urbanizing cities. Drawing from the Japanese concept of engawa—a transitional zone between interior and exterior spaces—the project reinterprets this architectural idea within Accra’s urban context, creating a soft threshold between skeletal buildings and the cultivated land that surrounds them. The installation introduces a series of modular, human-scaled structures made from galvanized steel profiles and woven strips of salvaged billboard banners. These lightweight frames create shaded areas and seating spaces, including an oversized daybed inspired by the woven beds commonly found on construction sites and inside unfinished buildings across West Africa, where they are used by caretakers, workers, and temporary inhabitants. By translating this familiar object into architectural form, Limbo Engawa transforms everyday practices of rest and care into shared civic infrastructure while also drawing attention to the surrounding cultivated landscape and ongoing urban farming activities. Commissioned by the Limbo Museum in collaboration with Art Omi and supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum Accra, the project marks the first chapter of a two-part architectural dialogue unfolding between Ghana and the United States. While the Accra installation inhabits the museum’s unfinished structure, the second chapter will be presented later in 2026 at Art Omi in New York as a freestanding landscape pavilion. The current presentation at Limbo Museum runs until April 12, 2026, offering visitors the opportunity to experience the installation within its original context.

#MeetTheArchitect | @juergenbensonstrohmayer Step inside Limbo Engawa, a new two-part architectural commission designed by Juergen Benson-Strohmayer of TAELON7 (@taelon7_ ) and developed in partnership with Art Omi (@art_omi ). The first chapter opens here in Accra before taking on a new form later this year in upstate New York. Doors open at 3:00 PM this Thursday, March 12th at Limbo Museum. Full details of the opening reception coming soon—don’t miss it! Presented in partnership with Art Omi and supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum Accra (@acf_accra ).

Limbo Museum (@limbomuseum ), in partnership with Art Omi (@art_omi ), is proud to present 𝑳𝒊𝒎𝒃𝒐 𝑬𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒘𝒂. Limbo Engawa is the first architectural commission of its kind in Africa—a two-part project unfolding in Ghana and New York. Developed as an institutional collaboration, the commission moves between contexts, testing how architecture can shift, adapt and respond to place. Designed by TAELON7 (@taelon7_ ) under the direction of architect Juergen Benson-Strohmayer (@juergenbensonstrohmayer ), the first chapter is set within the skeletal concrete frame of Limbo Museum. In this context, the installation transforms the museum’s unfinished architecture into a space for gathering. The work takes its name from the Japanese term engawa, the transitional zone of a home that sits between inside and outside, where social life naturally unfolds. In Accra, this idea is realized through modular, woven structures constructed from steel profiles and salvaged billboard strips, creating human-scaled interventions that bridge architecture and the surrounding cultivated landscape. In Fall 2026, the second chapter will be presented at Art Omi in Ghent, New York, where the same architectural system reconfigures as a freestanding landscape pavilion set within open fields. Rather than a single work that travels, Limbo Engawa operates as a two-part dialogue, exploring how form, climate, scale and context shape architectural experience. Please join us next week for the opening and official unveiling of Limbo Engawa! 📅 Date: March 12, 2026 ⏰ Doors open: 3 PM | Program starts: 4 PM 📍 Location: Limbo Museum, Accra, Ghana The initiative is supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum Accra @acf_accra
