Once again, the OmenaArt Foundation has created a project at the intersection of cultures and contemporary artistic practices. In 2026, the Foundation returns to the Malta Biennale, organizing the Polish thematic pavilion “Redefining. Polish-Ghanaian Textile Narratives,” which was announced as the Best Pavilion of the Malta Biennale 2026 during Malta Falcon Awards ceremony.

Our exhibition explores the historical ties and solidarity between Poland and Ghana. Through the artists’ works, we aim to show that despite the distance and our different experiences, we are united by shared feelings and values. Ernestina Mansa Doku brings an organic approach to matter and nature to the project, Eliza Proszczuk – a reflection on memory, emancipation, and the body, while Marta Nadolle – a perspective on interpersonal relationships and observations of the tensions between the public and the private. The juxtaposition of these three practices enables the creation of works that operate through both personal narrative and the universal language of contemporary art, legible within the international art scene.
says Natalia Bradbury, curator of *Redefining. Polish-Ghanaian Textile Narratives*.

That is why I am proud that through the activities of my Foundation, we support artists from this continent—we invest in art and education, including through the construction of the innovative Kids Haven Sport & Art Complex in Ghana, and we promote their work on international platforms. I am incredibly pleased that our exhibition at the Malta Biennale 2026 will highlight just how powerful and inspiring the dialogue between cultures—Polish and Ghanaian, European and African—can be, in the extraordinary setting of a Mediterranean island.
says Omenaa Mensah, CEO of the OmenaArt Foundation.
