Earth 360 Climate Advocacy Project

Hello there! My name is Bismark Agyei Yeboah, and I'm reaching out to you with a cause close to my heart. I am thrilled to introduce you to Earth 360, an innovative and impactful climate change advocacy project set to make waves in the heart of Ghana. Led by the visionary fine art artist Winfred Nana Amoah, alongside Dumevi and Hohoe Konnect, Earth 360 is more than just an art installation – it's a movement for change.
Earth 360 revolves around a powerful art installation curated by Winfred and a dedicated team of about 100 volunteers. Picture this: plastic waste transformed into a stunning art piece against the backdrop of the breathtaking Wli Waterfalls in the Volta region of Ghana. It's a visual reminder of the urgent need to combat plastic pollution and embrace innovative recycling methods.
Raising Awareness and Building Resilience: Our mission extends beyond art – Earth 360 is a platform to raise awareness about the pressing issue of plastic pollution and its devastating impact on our environment. But that's not all. We are also focused on building the resilience of the Wli community members, empowering them to anticipate and manage the challenges posed by climate change and its potential threats to their surroundings, including the majestic Wli Falls.
Uniting for Change: Earth 360 is about fostering collaboration and driving change on multiple fronts. We aim to engage policymakers, organisations, and businesses, encouraging them to reduce plastic usage and adopt sustainable recycling practices. By creating a united front against plastic pollution, we can make a tangible difference and protect our planet for future generations.
At the heart of Earth 360 is Winfred Nana Amoah, a seasoned artist with over a decade of experience. Winfred's art reflects his African heritage and values, utilising African textiles and plastics in his mixed-media practice. His work has not only been exhibited in prestigious venues like the Nubuke Foundation and Calabar Gallery but has also ignited conversations about African art and identity at international forums such as The Alternative Art School.
The Power of Hohoe Konnect: One of the driving forces behind Earth 360 is Hohoe Konnect, a network of passionate young individuals from the Hohoe environs dedicated to sharing, learning, and self-improvement. As an initiative of the GhanaThink Foundation, Hohoe Konnect is focused on cultivating a network of changemakers, doers, and entrepreneurs. The GhanaThink Foundation, a social enterprise that mobilises and organises talent for the benefit of Ghana, has laid the foundation for this incredible endeavour.
How You Can Help: I invite you to join us on this journey of change. Your support can make a world of difference in bringing Earth 360 to life. Regardless of size, every contribution takes us one step closer to raising awareness, building resilience, and creating a better future for our planet. Together, we can amplify the message of Earth 360 and inspire a movement that transcends art and sparks real change. The funds will mainly be used to support the logistics, materials, and volunteers for the art installation.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about Earth 360. Your generosity and support are invaluable to us. Let's stand together for a healthier planet, a united community, and a brighter future. Join us in making a positive impact today.
