Si Hene Cultural Centre · Accra

Work & gather

One room that changes through the week. Members reserve a desk or a shared table to work beside the Reading Room and the Archive Lab; the same space holds small exhibitions, talks, screenings, workshops and meetings when it is booked for a programme.

The Forum & courtyard

Request a space for a programme

Exhibitions, talks and screenings are arranged with staff rather than booked instantly, so that the room, the material and any handling requirements can be planned together. The courtyard can be hired as well, on its own or with the indoor room, and is priced separately. Tell us what you have in mind and an answer follows within five working days.
