Limbo Museum is pleased to present Western Beef ft. Western Union, the first presentation on the African continent by Alvaro Barrington (@alvarobarrington), curated by Diallo Simon-Ponte (@diallosimonponte), opening October 31.
Part of Limbo Museum’s Visiting Artist Program, the exhibition marks Barrington’s largest installation to date, extending his painting practice into a new site-specific work that responds to the museum’s unfinished architecture.
The title brings together two familiar fixtures of diasporic life: Western Beef, a New York supermarket serving Caribbean, African and Hispanic communities, and Western Union, a service through which money earned abroad is sent home to support families, build houses and more. Moving between these two worlds, Barrington reflects on his upbringing in New York and a practice rooted in Caribbean culture and the movement of people, goods and ideas across the diaspora.
Presented as part of Accra Cultural Week, hosted by @gallery1957, Western Beef ft. Western Union will unfold over three months through screenings, workshops and public conversations.
Join us for the opening this Saturday, October 31, at Limbo Museum, Accra.
On view through February 1, 2027.

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.

✨ Now open!
Alvaro Barrington, Western Beef ft. Western Union, opened at Limbo Museum on Saturday 31 October — the artist's first exhibition on the African continent, here in Accra.
Curated by Diallo Simon-Ponte (@diallosimonponte), the exhibition is the culmination of Barrington's residency through the Visiting Artist Program and his largest installation to date. Its title joins two fixtures of diasporic life: Western Beef, the New York supermarket serving Caribbean, African and Hispanic communities, and Western Union, through which money earned abroad is sent home.
The installation treats the whole museum as its canvas. Floor-to-ceiling PVC strips fill the building's open apertures in pinks, greens, blues, golds and purples drawn from Accra's landscape and its kente weavers. A kaleidoscopic passage through exposed concrete, and a reminder that the built environment is a flexible social fabric.
On view through 1 February 2027.
Mon–Fri 10.00–17.30 · Sat 12.00–16.00 by appointment
Limbo Museum, University of Ghana campus, Legon

INTRODUCING LIMBO DESIGN
Limbo Museum, in partnership with Studio Marant (@studiomarant) and with support from the LOEWE Foundation (@loewefoundation) is proud to launch Limbo Design, a new living archive, research and networked platform for contemporary design practice in Ghana and across West Africa.
Bringing together designers, architects, artisans, craftspeople, makers, fabricators and researchers, Limbo Design begins from the premise that design cannot be understood through finished objects alone. Materials, labour, manufacturing, trade, inherited knowledge and infrastructure all shape what is made, who makes it, how it circulates and where value settles.
Across the region, these relationships take different forms. Jute moves through Ghana’s cocoa economy. Aluminium passes between automotive industries, scrap markets and foundries. Grass moves between basketry, architecture and contemporary design, while earth carries knowledge of building, climate and place.
Limbo Design will follow these material and cultural systems across Ghana and West Africa, creating space for research, exchange, collaboration and experimentation while connecting regional practices to wider design conversations.
The program opens at Red Clay, Tamale, on 2 November 2026, with Ground Conditions, an inaugural conversation between Ibrahim Mahama (@ibrahimmahama3) and Nifemi Marcus-Bello (@nmbello1) exploring Same Process, Different Material as a proposition: what becomes visible when design is read through material, labour, infrastructure and place?
The inaugural program is sponsored by the LOEWE Foundation, with in-kind support from Red Clay and Gallery 1957 in connection with Accra Culture Week.
Ghana → West Africa → Beyond
This is where we begin.

Now on view | 𝙏𝘼𝙀𝙇𝙊𝙉7: 𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙤 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙬𝙖
𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙤 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙬𝙖, a two-part site-specific installation by TAELON7 (@TAELON7_), led by architect Juergen Benson-Strohmayer (@JuergenBensonStrohmayer) was conceived as a cross-continental commission between Art Omi and Accra's Limbo Museum. Following the project's debut in Accra earlier this year, the piece now sits in Art Omi's 120-acre Sculpture & Architecture Park in New York's Hudson Valley.
Across its two presentations, 𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙤 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙬𝙖 asks how architecture can hold space for gathering, exchange, and collective life in radically different geographic and cultural settings.
The work takes its name and its premise from engawa, the Japanese architectural threshold that mediates between interior and exterior, private and public. In Accra, the installation was woven into the skeletal, unfinished concrete structure of Limbo Museum, turning an incomplete building—and the land around it—into a setting for use, care, and encounter.
Modular, lightweight components, including oversized daybeds inspired by the woven beds found on Ghanaian construction sites, were built from steel profiles and salvaged billboard strips, drawing farmers, caretakers, and museum visitors into shared use of the space.

Throwback to "Speakers" at Limbo Museum in Accra, Ghana, by Jojo Gronostay and Sami Mandee.
The sculptural installation takes the speaker box, a familiar, ubiquitous, and often improvised as both an object and a form of infrastructure. Rather than treating the speaker merely as a technological device for transmitting sound, the artists consider how it occupies space, gathers attention, produces territories, and mediates relationships between private ownership and public experience. [...] Moving through Accra often means navigating through overlapping acoustic territories. The speaker therefore becomes a peculiar kind of public sculpture.

Limbo Engawa at Art Omi, New York.
Reassembled on a gently sloping field, the pavilion occupies the terrain between the top and bottom of the hill. Settled on an incline, it creates a new crossroads within the landscape: a place to pause, sit, lie down and look out.
Horizontal planes accentuate the slope while lightweight frames establish a shifting horizon of filtered shade. The array echoes infrastructural devices found in contemporary landscapes across geographies, giving the pavilion a horizontal, civic monumentality while touching the ground lightly.
First conceived at the threshold between the unfinished concrete structure of Limbo Museum and its cultivated surroundings in Accra, the same modular elements have travelled from Ghana to New York. At Art Omi, this condition of in-betweenness is translated into a new context: neither at the summit nor at the bottom, but a landmark between.
Co-commissioned by @limbomuseum and @art_omi, Limbo Engawa is now part of Art Omi’s permanent installation.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us this past Saturday at @moss.nyc to celebrate Limbo Museum’s New York debut.
It was a special evening for us, bringing together friends, collaborators, supporters and new connections around Limbo and the work we’re building.
The evening followed the inauguration of Limbo Engawa, designed by TAELON7 (@taelon7_) and co-commissioned with Art Omi (@art_omi). As the pavilion marked a new chapter for Limbo, the gathering offered an opportunity to expand our circle here in New York and connect with many of the people who will help shape what comes next.
A special thank you to Sarah Daoui (@sarahsadiadaoui) founder of Bureau.Art (@bureau____art) for so graciously hosting the evening and helping us build new relationships and widen Limbo’s patron network in New York. Thank you as well to the Moss team for welcoming us, and to our team and advisors who travelled to be with us.
And to everyone who came, stayed late and shared the evening with us, thank you for being part of this moment and for your continued belief in Limbo. There is much more to come 🥂

Today is the last day to visit 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔 at Limbo Museum.
Jojo Gronostay (@jojogronostay) and Sami Mandee (@saminagasaki), curated by Nuna Adisenu-Doe (@nunadoe), came to Limbo with an attention to what surrounds the building: the sounds of Accra, the wild landscape, the unfinished structure, and everything that moves through it.
For a few weeks, 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔 gave the museum a different tempo. Sound moved through the concrete, moving images surfaced from Ghana’s past, and the building became a place to pause and listen.
A quiet encounter within a city in motion.
Today marks the final day at Limbo, but 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔 will continue its journey to other institutions across Ghana, reaching new audiences and opening up new encounters along the way. Stay close for its next destination!
The exhibition is supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum Accra (@acf_accra).

𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔 is now open at Limbo Museum.
A site-specific sound installation by Jojo Gronostay (@jojogronostay) and Sami Mandee (@saminagasaki), curated by Nuna Adisenu-Doe (@nunadoe).
Sound, film, people, conversations, and a lot of listening filled the museum for the opening.
The work began with something the artists noticed on their first visit to the space: the traffic and sounds surrounding the museum somehow sounded like ocean waves. That feeling became the starting point for 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔, transforming the everyday sounds of Accra into an immersive experience within the unfinished museum.
Alongside the installation, the artists invited the Ghana Film Archive to present a selection of archival Ghanaian moving images into the museum, spanning different chapters of the country’s visual history, from the colonial and independence periods through post-independence Ghana. The screening brought together images of everyday life, industry, infrastructure and a changing social landscape, placing the archive in conversation with the sounds and rhythms of Accra today.
𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔 is open at Limbo Museum until September 22.
The exhibition is supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum Accra (@acf_accra).
