He discusses the collective's grassroots establishment and its commitment to creating, serving, and responding to local community needs.
The discussion delves into the experiences and aspirations of ITAC Ghana Collective members, featuring individuals like Johannes Laryea, Rexford Gideon Mills, John Kaledzi, Antonia Larde Issifu, and Precious Amegbor, each highlighting the positive impact of ITAC on their artistic journeys. The challenges faced, including financial constraints, internet connectivity issues, and the struggle with volunteerism, are acknowledged, yet the collective expresses resilience and commitment.
