Speaking during a courtesy call at the Ministry in Accra on May 15, the minister applauded Ghana’s Photographic Tourism Ambassador, Thomas Fynn for opening doors for young creatives, particularly photographers.

She, however, cautioned them to return following their program as their refusal to do so would jeopardise other creatives' chances.

“I hope this opens more doors. Travel well, represent Ghana with pride, and return to share your experiences. If you don’t come back, you block the opportunity for others,” she said.

“Mr Fynn has always been committed to supporting the next generation. When he approached the ministry about this project, I saw it as a way to highlight photography, which doesn’t always get the attention it deserves.

The team’s departure marks the start of the Ghana-Poland Photographic Collaboration — a cultural project led by Polish photographer Mr. Wojciech Zaremba in partnership with Fynn.

The project will feature photo exhibitions and cultural activities in Poland, using photography to tell stories and promote cultural exchange.

Three young Ghanaian photographers are part of the team: Mary Ama Odurowaa Sarkodie, Theophilus Seth Opoku, and Ernestina Fynn.

Their involvement shows Ghana’s commitment to supporting young people and building global partnerships in the arts.
