Opening Celebration | Godfried Donkor: It’s a Numbers Game

Friday 22 May 2026

Galleries

Join us for a special evening event to celebrate the opening of ‘It’s a Numbers Game’, Godfried Donkor’s first UK institutional show at Firstsite!

 

Be among the very first to experience this major new show, taking you on a powerful, immersive exploration of the shared histories between Britain, West Africa, and the Caribbean, revealing how Colchester’s own past is deeply intertwined with Ghana’s.

Step into a boxing ring. Stand face-to-face with the leaders and resisters who shaped history. Walk through waves of figures rising from the pages of the Financial Times.
