Fluid Echo-Systems: A Soundscape Journey Through West African Wetlands An intimate listening session exploring sound ecology, wetlands, memory, and the environmental knowledge of African and Afrodiasporic women*. Through immersive field recordings taken across Ghana’s most precious wetlands, from Lake Bosomtwe in the Ashanti region down to Asokore Dabiasem, in the Eastern region, through to the Busua mangroves of the Western region, to the Densu Delta of Accra, the session invites you to reflect on sound as a carrier of ancestral memory, spirituality, ecology, and relationships to land and water. Together, we will move through layered sonic ecologies where voice, environment, and memory intertwine. Produced in collaboration by DēpART and Ɛdan and supported by Marshall, this evening is led by: Abeni Asante, an ecologist who uses visual & sound art as mediums to tell stories of speculative afrocentric futures, and Abigail Baffoe, the project leader of Women In Soundscape Ecology Africa. 📍 Location: Ɛdan Spatial Studios, opposite Sandton Court, Osu, Ghana 📅 Date: 21 May 2026 ⏰ Time: 4:00pm–6:00pm (Session starts promptly) The event is free, tickets are available at: https://tix.africa/discover/fluidechosystems Link in bio 🔗 @edanghana @wisea_official @abigail_csemghana @asantewaa.lineage @marshall
