Culture Shakers is an interview series in which I, Carmen Hogg, talk to creatives from around the world who are doing something genuinely fresh in music or fashion, or playing a leading role in the rapid evolution of city life, all subjects that engage me like no other. The first season kicks off in Accra, where I link up with a couple of truly unorthodox entrepreneurs.

Dominique is the founder of Limbo Accra, an architecture infused spatial design studio operating from Ghana & beyond, the one that is designing Ghana's first skatepark.

ACCRA TO LAGOS

My first mixtape! 
In this mix I'm taking you from Lagos to Accra and back. Back in physical space but also back in time. 

You'll hear the songs that I love from today and from back in the day. Songs in English, Twi, Yoruba and Igbo on a deep beat with the bass that gets me going. 

I hope you enjoy it!

Solitude (w/ Riian Raquel)

Carmen (MSc) is a style anthropologist, writer, creative producer and part-time deejay. She sees style as a visual expression of identity, a means by which we indicate not only who we are but also who we identify with. Much of her work rests on a foundation of research into fashion and popular culture in urban Africa, for which she spends the greater part of the year in Accra (GH) and Lagos (NIG). Her focus for the past three years has been on sneaker culture, (young) contemporary wear and streetwear. In all of her work, she celebrates brands and individuals that inspire her and brings them to the attention of a broader (international) audience.
