You’re warmly invited to the exhibition of “Unwanted Waste or Precious Resources?”. The exhibition sheds light on the reality of informal e-waste recycling in Ghana – through photographs by award-winning Ghanaian photojournalist Muntaka Chasant.

Running from May 15 to June 13, 2025, the exhibition focuses on the e-waste workers in Ghana who recover valuable materials from discarded electronics. It highlights the socioeconomic importance and complex local knowledge behind the recycling process – challenging common stereotypes that portray the practice solely as harmful or exploitative.

The opening of the event featured a guided tour by the photographer himself and a roundtable discussion with experts from politics, academia, and civil society. 

Stop by – be inspired and challenged to think differently.

🗓 Exhibition: May 15 – June 13, 2025, Mo-Fr 10am -5pm 

📍 Wo: Begegnungscafé Berlin Global Village, Am Sudhaus 2

FREE OF CHARGE

The exhibition is presented by the Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence at the University of Bayreuth and hosted at Berlin Global Village.
