Popularisation of Adinkra Symbolism through Digital Animation

 

Traditional Ghana abounds in useful symbols, signs and motifs that encapsulate a lot of Ghanaian philosophies and beliefs, and play important roles in defining their cultural heritage for the traditional Ghanaian. Good examples of these symbols are the Adinkra symbols of Akans (an ethnic group in Ghana), which express various themes that relate to the history, beliefs and philosophy of the people.
