In Ghana, about 60% of the women go through a stage where they carry items in a pan or basket to sell either in the markets or neighborhoods. Boateng has personally bought items from them, mostly the easiest convenient way of getting food items. “My mom, at some point, had to go through the same process selling all different kind of stuff. And yes, you will see them walk miles with a baby at their back, which three of my siblings and myself have been carried at her back while walking miles to sell whatever she had in her pan/basket. This photo is depicts exactly what most Street Hawkers go through to feed themselves and their families.”

The Short North Alliance and 10 partner galleries and art institutions present the seventh rendition of the highly popular Short North Mural Series titled One World, which showcases the diversity of global artists and their experiences. One World is a project of the Short North Alliance and is made possible with support from the Greater Columbus Arts Council, the Ohio Arts Council, and the Short North Alliance Art Fund.
