You arrive with the city still on the rearview mirror and the road opening into broad fields where the wind pushes at the tall grasses. The Ancestral Park sits off a country road two hours from Accra; its entrance is a quiet hinge between modern traffic and an outdoor gallery that confronts history through monumental sculpture. Walkways guide you past figures frozen mid-motion, each work a direct, unadorned voice demanding attention.
