About
Independent. Artist-led. Based in Accra.
Studio Dialogues was founded in Accra, Ghana, in 2025 by visual artist Rebekka Macht.
Studio Dialogues is an artist-led conversation series, mentorship programme and community founded by visual artist Rebekka Macht and based in Accra, Ghana. Hosted in her studio and at rotating locations, it brings together artists for critical exchange, collective learning and dialogue, with a focus on women artists and early-career practitioners.
Development is a collective practice.
Conversation, critique and shared inquiry are central to how artistic practices grow.
Studio Dialogues understands development as more than isolated production. It is interested in the conditions in which artists work, the structures that shape their careers and the relationships that sustain a practice.
By bringing these questions into a shared space, the initiative explores how stronger artistic communities can be built—and what artists can make possible for one another.
It operates as a flexible core group of artists who meet regularly to share work, reflect on their processes and exchange ideas across disciplines. The group is ever-evolving, with artists joining or passing through Accra, alongside larger gatherings for the wider community. Studio Dialogues understands artistic development as a collective practice shaped through conversation, critique and shared inquiry rather than isolated production.
Since its inception in 2025, it has developed into an ongoing network of artists whose relationships and collaborations extend beyond the sessions themselves, contributing to a culture of sustained exchange and mutual support within Accra’s contemporary art scene and beyond.
Attention to the conditions of practice.
Working across genders, Studio Dialogues places particular attention on women artists connected to Accra.
This includes early-career artists and those whose professional development is affected by care responsibilities and structural exclusions.
These realities are part of the conversation about artistic development, not separate from it. They inform the initiative’s interest in mentorship, shared inquiry and stronger networks of support.
