INTENTIONAL CO-CREATION & CULTURAL CREATIVITY
Each Aketekete piece is a result of international collaboration designed with over 70 artisans from all around Ghana. With our partners, we decide to create modern objects through traditional and ancestral techniques while maintaining the most sustainable, responsible and ethical production possible.
All our pieces are imbued with the cultures, places, and stories that our artisans’ partners wish to tell.
Aketekete works to connect local artisans with customers with the principles of true collaboration and co-creation, allowing space for regrowth and working in harmony with natural seasons, cultural diversity, and the incredible humans that weave our products into existence.
Our wish at Aketekete is truly to celebrate our artisan partners and their craft.
