SSAP: The Good Ancestor Project

Hosted by the Sub-Sahara Advisory Panel (SSAP), The Good Ancestor project is a Black-led artist club that creatively explores climate and nature through an international lens, with a focus on Wales and Africa. It deepens not only the connection between artists and communities across continents but also the understanding of the cultural and ecological impacts of land exploitation. And the latest question the group has for the people of Cardiff is: Are you a good ancestor?

Primed with incredible artwork by Cheb Arts (Paskaline Maiyo), JACK ARTS partnered with SSAP to bring this question to the streets of Cardiff through a multi-format poster campaign. In A Body of E-art-h, Cheb Arts ‘uses the human body as a canvas to highlight the deep interconnection between humans, wildlife and the natural world.’ While the three models in Interwoven Earth: A balance of land, water and life ‘symbolize the harmony the Earth requires for a sustainable future’.
