Before the British established the Gold Coast colony in the 19th century, Ghana’s centralized chieftaincies maintained a strict hierarchy. Within each jurisdiction, a paramount chief ruled over divisional chiefs, who in turn oversaw village-level leaders. Like Western monarchies, these systems were surrounded by opulent regalia—gold staffs and swords, intricate gold weights, towering Kyiniye umbrellas, and breathtaking textiles such as Kente and Adinkra cloth. The Ghanaian-American artist Rita Mawuena Benissan explores these monarchist symbols and the rituals that accompanied them, assembling historical objects alongside her own tapestries, photography, and video. The show is not to be missed. —Elena Clavarino
