HOMOWO CHRONICLES

“Homowo Chronicle” is a captivating digital artwork that unfolds a jubilant celebration of twinhood within the rich cultural tapestry of the Gas people in Ghana. This piece commemorates the ‘Homowo’ festival, where the Gas, having migrated from Ile Ife in Nigeria, purposefully discarded the negative practice associated with twins. In this festival of ‘Hooting at Hunger,’ twins play a central role, bringing their unique customs into the vibrant celebration.

The scene is alive with festivity as twins, adorned with traditional attire, carry bowls or basins filled with symbolic elements. The contents include chicken feathers representing sacrifice, twigs and branches embodying the forest, and shiny, high-denominated coins signifying prosperity. This visual tapestry mirrors the layers of meaning woven into the festival, acknowledging gratitude, appeasing spirits, and renouncing past practices.

As the twins move in procession through the major streets of the community, the onlookers witness a spectacle of cultural richness. The twins, often in a trance from spirit possession after the pouring of libations, add an ethereal dimension to the celebration. The vibrant colors, intricate details, and symbolism within the artwork bring forth a narrative that goes beyond the visual, delving into the spiritual and historical significance of the Homowo festival.

“Homowo Chronicle” becomes a window into a cultural celebration where traditions are not only preserved but celebrated with pride and joy. The act of dumping the contents of the bowls at a designated site becomes a ritual of communal unity and a powerful connection to the spirits, weaving together past and present in a dynamic expression of identity and heritage.
