A very interesting traditional ceremony which if not learnt or contribute to is slowly fading.

Learn and relive these cultural experiences which date back centuries. This is the unwatered version of what the Engagement ceremony dictates according to tradition- where a woman is ‘Marked’ as an ‘Intended’ future wife.

This event is part of the of ɛmti bag nɔ ba tinap project funded by UCL Centre for Critical Heritage Studies Small Grants Scheme.

Please note this talk will be in Krio.
