The OmenaArt Foundation will once again be situated at the intersection of cultures and contemporary artistic practices. In 2026, the Foundation returns to the Malta Biennale, with a thematic pavilion titled Redefining. Polish-Ghanaian Textile Narratives.

Our exhibition explores the theme of historical bonds and solidarity between Poland and Ghana. Through the artists’ works, we want to show that despite distance and differing experiences, we are united by shared emotions and values. Ernestina Mansa Doku brings to the project an organic approach to material and nature; Eliza Proszczuk contributes a reflection on memory, emancipation, and the body; while Marta Nadolle offers a perspective focused on interpersonal relationships and observations of tensions between the public and the private. The juxtaposition of these three practices makes it possible to create works that operate both through personal narrative and through the universal language of contemporary art, legible within the international art circuit.
– says Natalia Bradbury, curator of Redefining. Polish-Ghanaian Textile Narratives.

In recent years, African art has secured a significant position on the global art scene. Works by artists such as Amoako Boafo and Julie Mehretu achieve record-breaking prices at auctions and are presented in leading cultural institutions. In 2025, ArtReview magazine named the Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama the most influential figure in contemporary art. That is why I am proud that through the activities of my Foundations, we support artists from this continent – investing in art and education, including through the construction of the innovative Kids Haven Sport & Art Complex in Ghana, and promoting their work on international platforms. I am especially delighted that our exhibition, presented during the Malta Biennale 2026, will highlight how powerful and inspiring intercultural dialogue can be – between Poland and Ghana, Europe and Africa – in the extraordinary setting of a Mediterranean island.
