The installation was commissioned by the museum in partnership with Art Omi , a not-for-profit arts center in New York’s Hudson Valley. The project is the first commission of a collaboration between the two institutions and will be installed in both locations, Accra and New York . Titled Limbo Engawa , the modular, lightweight structure dialogues with the formerly abandoned Brutalist building housing the museum, transforming its skeletal concrete structure and its surrounding land into spaces for use, care, and encounter. The project reflects on the boundaries between unfinished urban architecture and the landscape, foregrounding the labor and stewardship often invisible in both urban and institutional contexts, and asserting that even incomplete or overlooked sites are vessels of civic possibility.

Oversized daybeds, inspired by the woven beds commonly found on construction sites and within unfinished buildings in West Africa , provide shade, filtered views, and spaces for sitting or lying down to foster interaction among farmers, caretakers, and museum visitors. It uses steel profiles and construction techniques familiar from roadside kiosks and billboard structures, combined with salvaged billboard material cut into strips and woven onto the frames. Individual frames are aggregated to form larger canopy and seating elements, allowing the system to adapt to different sites and configurations. The construction method blends local African construction techniques with adaptable design strategies.
