About this Event

Join us for free guided tours of the Wende Museum's exhibitions Enrique Martínez Celaya: The Sextant and Intersections: The Architecture of Victor Adegbite and Charles Polónyi in Ghana.

In The Sextant, Enrique Martínez Celaya reconstructs a modernist Cuban home built by his father between 1957 and 1963, a period marked by revolution, exile, and transformation. The installation becomes a meditation on the ellusiveness of history and the self.

Intersections traces the collaboration between Ghanaian architect Victor Adegbite and Hungarian architect Charles Polónyi in 1960s Accra, then a hub of anticolonial imagination and socialist modernization. Their housing designs embodied the architectural and political ideals of a newly independent nation navigating between East and West.

Discover two major exhibitions exploring art, architecture, memory, and global exchange during the Cold War era.
