Aba Garbrah is a Jamaican and Ghanaian artist and writer based in Edmonton, Alberta. She has been a member of the Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts for fifteen years.
In her first ever non-fiction book, Aba describes how she overcame racism, losing her parents, struggling to fit in and other obstacles early in life before finding success as an artist, a bowler, and a public speaker.
Be one of the first to read her book and support a local emerging author by joining us in the Stollery Gallery at the Nina on October 30th. Aba will be reading from her book and signing copies at the event.
A collection of her art will be featured in the gallery from October 1st – 31st to celebrate her accomplishment.
The Nina gallery and washrooms are wheelchair accessible. Please contact janice@thenina.ca for other accessibility questions or requests.
