Ghanaian artist, Kweku Adu-Gyamfi Opoku, has officially launched his new book titled ‘Adi Nkyia’ Book of Symbols, in Accra.
The event was held at the Ghana Club, near the Black Star Square, on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
The 122-page book, dedicated to creative exploration and available on all major online bookstores, showcases a new collection of African art symbols developed by the author.
According to him, the symbols created are intended to connect ancestral wisdom with modern expression.
Adi Nhyia, unlike the popular Akan traditional ‘Adinkra’ symbols, meaning “farewell”, signifies “getting together and meeting the future”.
Prof Kwame Karikari, Dean of the Communications Studies Department at Wisconsin University in Ghana, praised Mr A-G Opoku for his creativity while acknowledging his efforts in preserving African traditional art forms through his work and publications.
He said Mr Opoku also played a pioneering role by advocating for the inclusion of indigenous cultural symbols into digital programming during the early years of the Internet in Ghana.
Other key speakers at the event included Charlotte Osei, the former Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana, and Nana Agyenim Boateng, the former Managing Director of the Cocoa Processing Company Limited.
Kweku A-G Opoku is a former creative director with over three decades of experience in design and branding. He is also the founder of Opoku Art Gallery.
