For the third physical issue of INVOLVED Magazine, Sarah Osei spoke with Dominique Petit-Frère of Limbo Accra about architecture post-pandemic, spatial development and Ghana’s urban landscape. 

‘I think it's an important and powerful time to be a black woman but specifically, a Ghanaian woman that is interested in the development of a city on the basis of, the spatial and infrastructural development’ - Dominique Petit-Frère

Information

SABO Works is a South London-based architectural and cultural practice founded by Sarah Osei, grounded in lived experiences, multiculturalism and social justice.

Sarah Osei is trained in Architecture and Spatial Practice, working at the intersections of ethnography, policy and architectures through methodologies of the diaspora. Her work is site-specific, amplifying the lesser-heard dialogues of the capital as a means towards celebrating them.  
‘SABO, pronounced [saa-boh], is derived from the Hausa language and means “something new.”

In this context, SABO also functions as an acronym, representing a lineage of names that not only reflects the methodologies of this architectural practice, but also acknowledges a duality of heritages, multicultural identities, and ongoing dialogues deeply rooted in the London periphery - where I was born and raised - but often journeying from beyond’ - Sarah, Amma/Adutwumwaa/Adams, Basoah, Osei.
