Funeral celebration has been one of the major cherished tradition in Ghana. The study sought to examine event management practices on funeral rites among Asante people using Kumasi metropolis as a case study. The study employed the mixed method paradigm with exploratory and descriptive design. Convenience sampling technique was adopted in selecting sample size with eighty (80) event planners as the targeted population. Questionnaire and observation guide served as the main data collection tools for the survey. The results were analysed using descriptive statistics. It was established that most event managers get connected to their clients largely through referrals and advertisement on various radio stations. The financial position of clients influences the products and services rendered to them. The study concludes that challenges to event management on funeral rites include delay in releasing ...</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="6abe5493e89749a60f111609daa1c0ca" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":84777184,"asset_id":77424391,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/84777184/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="77424391"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="77424391"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 77424391;

Upon this foundation, the study seeks to examine and discuss the impact of the decline of Ghana’s textile industry on textiles education in Ghana. The population for the study consisted of students, lecturers and heads of departments of selected textiles education institutions in Ghana as well as operatives in Ghana’s textile factories.

The craft has contributed immensely to the economic and socio-cultural development of the area. Both male and female play enormous roles in the industry. Like many other indigenous crafts practiced in Ghana, the males dominate and are projected more than their female counterparts. Very little is known about the immense contributions females are making to the development of the industry, the society and Ghana at large. This research work, therefore, attempts to explore and identify female kete weavers in Agbozume and its surrounding villages. It also traces the origins of the female weavers with special reference to how they acquired the kete weaving skills, the prospects of them surviving in a male dominated industry, and the role they play in terms of marketing their products.

The study specifically sought to identify the various Ghanaian printed fabrics within the Ghanaian cultural setup , examine the artistic and cultural significance of the fabrics and appraise some aspects of the printed fabrics. The research design used was the qualitative approach based on a simple descriptive survey. The purposive sampling technique was used to select eight (8) fabric designs for the study. Interview and observation were used in collecting data. The analysis of the study was based on a pictorial view of the designs. This technique enabled the researchers to deal with the artistic study of the research. The findings of the study showed that there are many Ghanaian printed fabrics with different names that have cultural significance derived from various traditional values and beliefs. Artistically, the fabrics come in different colour-ways, providing a venue for a variety of aesthetic experience for their users. The simple and complex designs associated with these fabrics go a long way to provide the individual with numerous means of appreciating textile products. The main recommendation of the study is that, conscious efforts be made by the various centres of national cultures to have special collections of these fabrics as a means of beefing up the stock of knowledge that exists in the meanings of the fabric designs.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="2316e0de9f9c291f38f43a78b1f86cde" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":77179747,"asset_id":65693718,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/77179747/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="65693718"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="65693718"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 65693718;

This is true of all art forms, yet body arts evidence fine distinction through changes of status linked with rites of passage or temporary display roles for ritual occasions, as well as personal affiliations and preferences which are less manifest in more impersonal artefacts. The communicative, expressive, and symbolic nature of dress in Ghana indicates a person's identity or status, whether young or old, Northerner or Southerner, leader or commoner. The artistic properties and styles of dress and personal decoration are of great concern. Clothing is one of the commonest media of expressing Ghanaian symbolic art. 1 The Smock is the most distinctive dress from Northern Ghana. The Smock by design is shaped like the "dondon" drum of the Dagombas; two ends are broader with trimmer middle which when stitched together makes a beautiful dress. Smock as we have it today has seen many evolutions and adaptations to suit the various uses they are envisioned. 2 Since it was introduced into Dagbon during the reign of the Ya-Naa Zangina, Smock has evolved from royal wear on communal occasions to casual and official wear to suit many situations in life. 3 Smock has fascinating colour stripes arranged in a rhythmic order. The beauty of Smock is seen when men do the "damba" dance with the edge of the dress going round in circles. 4 In Northern Ghana, Smock (fugu) production centres are among the following ethnic groups: the Moshie, Kokomba, Dagomba, Mamprusi, Lobi, and Gonja, however, none of these can claim originality of the art in Northern Ghana. Northern tradition maintains that the Smock fabric was introduced into the region by the Moshie from Ouagadougou. They were believed to have come into contact through trade to the North from the Upper Volta in exchange of woven pieces for kola nuts, millets, yam, rice, guinea fowl and other foodstuffs. 5 Some of the main weaving areas are Bolgatanga, Daboya, Tamale, Gushegu, Kpatinga, Yendi, Bawku and Navrongo. Studying the production, aesthetics, form, function, and context of Smock from Northern Ghana and its role in the preservation, presentation and promotion of Northern culture remain paramount in deepening scholarship of Ghana's ethnic textile heritage.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="191bbf454a42d342ed735fb596829e56" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":74034698,"asset_id":60717440,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74034698/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="60717440"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="60717440"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 60717440;

Interview and observation were used in collecting the needed data at selected craft centres in the Kwabre East District, Ejisu-Juaben municipality, Kumasi sub-metro and metropolitan in the Ashanti region of Ghana. The study employed both descriptive and experimental research methods based on the qualitative research approach. It was revealed that Kente and Adinkra enjoy wide reputation and therefore are considered as prestigious clothes. However, Nwomu cloth does not have this fame, only indigenes understand its usage and the philosophy behind its production. In view of this, it is recommended that the elders who are endowed with this unique craft must open their doors to the youth to learn the craft.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="5ebd903cfa9dcc66107cb593a9ebf3a6" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":74034695,"asset_id":60717437,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74034695/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="60717437"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="60717437"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 60717437;

Questionnaire, personal communications and observation were used in collecting the needed data for the study throughout the country including rural, semi-urban and urban areas. Descriptive research methodology was utilized with the focus population consisting of general dress fashion consumers, students, fashion designers, tailors/seamstresses, cultural officers, traditional (chiefs and elders) and religious authorities from across Ghana. The study revealed that appropriate dressing in democratic Ghana is dressing without breaching constitutional liberties. It was also found that Ghanaian females are going wayward in their current dress styles while the males are generally not. The textile industry have had low positive impacts on the socio-cultural and economic wellbeing of Ghanaians as a result not meeting the demand of most preferred and needed ready-to-wear clothing accessories and dress styles. It is recommended that Ghana must train more creative fashion designers, consider amendments of her dress fashion laws, policies and practices, as well as reposition her textile manufacturing industries to venture into producing, processing and finishing of her textile raw materials to satisfy local and global demands.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="5f21b4723ab067914d5f24792ade708d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":74034641,"asset_id":60717426,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74034641/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="60717426"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="60717426"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 60717426;

Interview and observation were used in collecting the needed data at selected craft centres in the Kwabre East District, Ejisu-Juaben municipality, Kumasi sub-metro and metropolitan in the Ashanti region of Ghana. The study employed both descriptive and experimental research methods based on the qualitative research approach. It was revealed that Kente and Adinkra enjoy wide reputation and therefore are considered as prestigious clothes. However, Nwomu cloth does not have this fame, only indigenes understand its usage and the philosophy behind its production. In view of this, it is recommended that the elders who are endowed with this unique craft must open their doors to the youth to learn the craft.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f73234e1b0c2d6bdddb6752386e87210" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":74034537,"asset_id":60717217,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74034537/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="60717217"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="60717217"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 60717217;

The study sought to examine event management practices on funeral rites among Asante people using Kumasi metropolis as a case study. The study employed the mixed method paradigm with exploratory and descriptive design. Convenience sampling technique was adopted in selecting sample size with eighty (80) event planners as the targeted population. Questionnaire and observation guide served as the main data collection tools for the survey. The results were analysed using descriptive statistics. It was established that most event managers get connected to their clients largely through referrals and advertisement on various radio stations.

The study is an Art Historical research situated within the qualitative research paradigm. It had a population of a defined class of cultural policy makers, art historians, traditional rulers, nationalists, visual artists and Ghanaians resident both in and outside Ghana. The study examined how the creation of Ghana’s Presidential Seats and the State Sword were influenced by Kwame Nkrumah’s cultural policies and the cultural significance of the aesthetic interplay of ethnic insignias used in capturing the Ghanaian concept of Political authority. The study revealed that, Nkrumah recognised the cultural art forms and elements of ethnic Ghana as assets for national development. In line with his policy of building the Nation State of Ghana, he used ethnic cultural art forms and elements.

The craft has contributed immensely to the economic and socio-cultural development of the area. Both male and female play enormous roles in the industry. Like many other indigenous crafts practiced in Ghana, the males dominate and are projected more than their female counterparts. Very little is known about the immense contributions females are making to the development of the industry, the society and Ghana at large. This research work, therefore, attempts to explore and identify female kete weavers in Agbozume and its surrounding villages. It also traces the origins of the female weavers with special reference to how they acquired the kete weaving skills, the prospects of them surviving in a male dominated industry, and the role they play in terms of marketing their products.

The study specifically sought to identify the various Ghanaian printed fabrics within the Ghanaian cultural setup , examine the artistic and cultural significance of the fabrics and appraise some aspects of the printed fabrics. The research design used was the qualitative approach based on a simple descriptive survey. The purposive sampling technique was used to select eight (8) fabric designs for the study. Interview and observation were used in collecting data. The analysis of the study was based on a pictorial view of the designs. This technique enabled the researchers to deal with the artistic study of the research. The findings of the study showed that there are many Ghanaian printed fabrics with different names that have cultural significance derived from various traditional values and beliefs. Artistically, the fabrics come in different colour-ways, providing a venue for a variety of aesthetic experience for their users. The simple and complex designs associated with these fabrics go a long way to provide the individual with numerous means of appreciating textile products. The main recommendation of the study is that, conscious efforts be made by the various centres of national cultures to have special collections of these fabrics as a means of beefing up the stock of knowledge that exists in the meanings of the fabric designs.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="2316e0de9f9c291f38f43a78b1f86cde" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":77179747,"asset_id":65693718,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/77179747/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="65693718"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="65693718"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 65693718;

This is true of all art forms, yet body arts evidence fine distinction through changes of status linked with rites of passage or temporary display roles for ritual occasions, as well as personal affiliations and preferences which are less manifest in more impersonal artefacts. The communicative, expressive, and symbolic nature of dress in Ghana indicates a person's identity or status, whether young or old, Northerner or Southerner, leader or commoner. The artistic properties and styles of dress and personal decoration are of great concern. Clothing is one of the commonest media of expressing Ghanaian symbolic art. 1 The Smock is the most distinctive dress from Northern Ghana. The Smock by design is shaped like the "dondon" drum of the Dagombas; two ends are broader with trimmer middle which when stitched together makes a beautiful dress. Smock as we have it today has seen many evolutions and adaptations to suit the various uses they are envisioned. 2 Since it was introduced into Dagbon during the reign of the Ya-Naa Zangina, Smock has evolved from royal wear on communal occasions to casual and official wear to suit many situations in life. 3 Smock has fascinating colour stripes arranged in a rhythmic order. The beauty of Smock is seen when men do the "damba" dance with the edge of the dress going round in circles. 4 In Northern Ghana, Smock (fugu) production centres are among the following ethnic groups: the Moshie, Kokomba, Dagomba, Mamprusi, Lobi, and Gonja, however, none of these can claim originality of the art in Northern Ghana. Northern tradition maintains that the Smock fabric was introduced into the region by the Moshie from Ouagadougou. They were believed to have come into contact through trade to the North from the Upper Volta in exchange of woven pieces for kola nuts, millets, yam, rice, guinea fowl and other foodstuffs. 5 Some of the main weaving areas are Bolgatanga, Daboya, Tamale, Gushegu, Kpatinga, Yendi, Bawku and Navrongo. Studying the production, aesthetics, form, function, and context of Smock from Northern Ghana and its role in the preservation, presentation and promotion of Northern culture remain paramount in deepening scholarship of Ghana's ethnic textile heritage.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="191bbf454a42d342ed735fb596829e56" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":74034698,"asset_id":60717440,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74034698/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="60717440"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="60717440"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 60717440;

Interview and observation were used in collecting the needed data at selected craft centres in the Kwabre East District, Ejisu-Juaben municipality, Kumasi sub-metro and metropolitan in the Ashanti region of Ghana. The study employed both descriptive and experimental research methods based on the qualitative research approach. It was revealed that Kente and Adinkra enjoy wide reputation and therefore are considered as prestigious clothes. However, Nwomu cloth does not have this fame, only indigenes understand its usage and the philosophy behind its production. In view of this, it is recommended that the elders who are endowed with this unique craft must open their doors to the youth to learn the craft.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="5ebd903cfa9dcc66107cb593a9ebf3a6" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":74034695,"asset_id":60717437,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74034695/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="60717437"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="60717437"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 60717437;

Questionnaire, personal communications and observation were used in collecting the needed data for the study throughout the country including rural, semi-urban and urban areas. Descriptive research methodology was utilized with the focus population consisting of general dress fashion consumers, students, fashion designers, tailors/seamstresses, cultural officers, traditional (chiefs and elders) and religious authorities from across Ghana. The study revealed that appropriate dressing in democratic Ghana is dressing without breaching constitutional liberties. It was also found that Ghanaian females are going wayward in their current dress styles while the males are generally not. The textile industry have had low positive impacts on the socio-cultural and economic wellbeing of Ghanaians as a result not meeting the demand of most preferred and needed ready-to-wear clothing accessories and dress styles. It is recommended that Ghana must train more creative fashion designers, consider amendments of her dress fashion laws, policies and practices, as well as reposition her textile manufacturing industries to venture into producing, processing and finishing of her textile raw materials to satisfy local and global demands.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="5f21b4723ab067914d5f24792ade708d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":74034641,"asset_id":60717426,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74034641/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="60717426"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="60717426"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 60717426;

Interview and observation were used in collecting the needed data at selected craft centres in the Kwabre East District, Ejisu-Juaben municipality, Kumasi sub-metro and metropolitan in the Ashanti region of Ghana. The study employed both descriptive and experimental research methods based on the qualitative research approach. It was revealed that Kente and Adinkra enjoy wide reputation and therefore are considered as prestigious clothes. However, Nwomu cloth does not have this fame, only indigenes understand its usage and the philosophy behind its production. In view of this, it is recommended that the elders who are endowed with this unique craft must open their doors to the youth to learn the craft.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f73234e1b0c2d6bdddb6752386e87210" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":74034537,"asset_id":60717217,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74034537/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="60717217"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="60717217"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 60717217;
