THE CONTAINER SHOP
FEAT. YEVU CLOTHING
March 03, 2017
Curated by founder Stefania Manfreda, the very first exhibition at The Container Accra was a fun and quirky collaboration between high energy clothing brand Yevu and our home base Lokko House.
Recreating a typical local provisions store was the aim of the game. How? Using similar techniques as did 80s/90s Ghanaian studio photographer, Philip Kwame Apagya. His hyper-real dramatisation of domestic life on handpainted studio backdrops inspired both the Yevu Clothing Dec 2015 campaign as well as our installation.
​
involvedin this project were Annertey, Sena Ahadli and stefania manfreda
