Abstract

This issue of Art Education is loosely inspired by the Ghanaian concept of Sankofa. Sankofa is an Akan (Ghanaian) word that means “return to the source and fetch” (Tedla, 1995, p. 1). Represented as an abstract motif of a stylized bird, as in the Adinkra symbol reproduced here, it refers to a deeper meaning that one can learn from past mistakes and correct them in the present.
