Abstract

The importance of animation to the preservation of Ghana’s cultural legacy is the focus of this study. The

potential of animation as a medium for preserving and promoting Ghana’s cultural history is being

investigated at a time when globalization and modernity provide obstacles to cultural preservation. The

research examines the state of cultural preservation efforts in Ghana at the present time and studies the ways

in which animation might be used to both portray and preserve aspects of Ghanaian culture such as folklore,

traditional dances, and historical events. An investigation into how well animation can engage and inform a

wide variety of audiences about the cultural traditions of Ghana is being carried out. In addition, we

investigated cutting-edge animation methods that, when applied appropriately, can improve the conservation

and transfer of cultural property. The study also looked at the effects that animation has had on Ghanaians’

cultural understanding, appreciation, and identity, as well as its potential to inspire future generations. By

embracing animation, Ghana is able to secure the continuation of its cultural traditions and build a greater

awareness for Ghanaian cultural heritage.
