Overview
Va-Bene stands at a pivotal moment of transformation, beginning to embrace femininity within a society shaped by rigid gender norms and strong religious influence. Having preached in church for many years, Va-Bene now enters a process of unlearning and questioning deeply ingrained beliefs. As a performance artist, Va-Bene confronts these constraints, using art to challenge and expose the limitations placed on gender expression in Ghanaian society.
