“Kwaku Ananse is an intensely personal project which draws upon the rich mythology of Ghana… The fable of Kwaku Ananse is combined with the story of a young outsider named Nyan Koronhwea attending her estranged father’s funeral. At the funeral, she retreats to the woods in search for her father. Kwaku Ananse is an effort to preserve a fable my father passed on to me, and in turn to preserve a dying yet immensely rich cultural heritage.” —Akosua Adoma Owusu
