    Why Paul Ninson Built Dikan Center (And Why It Matters)

    Send us a text What does it take to build Africa’s most ambitious photographic archive—without institutional backing, without precedent, and far from the global centers of power? In this episode of The Peswa Podcast, Paul Ninson takes us inside the quiet, obsessive journey that led to the creation of Dikan Center—a space that now holds tens of thousands of photographic books and visual records, redefining how African history is preserved, studied, and accessed. Paul walks us through the early years of collecting books one by one, the decision to return to Ghana when opportunity was elsewhere, and the tension between personal ambition and collective responsibility. We talk about ownership of memory, the politics of archives, why Africa must build its own institutions, and the unseen cost of choosing legacy over comfort. This is not just a story about photography. It’s a conversation about cultural power, long-term thinking, and what it means to build something that outlives you. If you care about art, history, education, or institution-building in Africa—this episode will stay with you.
