At the crossroads of arts and culture in Africa

At the Crossroads of arts and culture in Africa

Cameroon has about 200 ethnic groups, which contribute to the country's rich creative and cultural legacy. Pygmies, Bantu, Sudanese, Arab-Berber, and others contribute to this astonishing population expansion, each with their own customs, art, and music.

We are promoting arts and culture that raises issues, offers solutions, and encourages social conversation.

Societies need to promote cooperation and communication, but they are growing more divisive. Since art has consistently inspired us to work along social divisions, we are adamant that self-assured cultural scenes have a significant impact on sustainable development. A civilization may communicate about itself and its future through the settings and conversations that artists create. For this reason, we support art that explores and creates connections. In collaboration with our partners, we experiment with new community forms and pique people's interest in the way art obeys its own set of laws.

Some key areas of arts and culture we cover include;

Social Cohesion: fostering a better sense of community

Through social conflict, art fosters a sense of engagement and belonging. In societies that are drifting apart, our joint cultural projects and efforts with local partners bring attention to the importance of communal spirit.

Cultural diversity: fostering awareness of social exclusion

People must accept variety and be mindful in an open society. Through gender equality initiatives and interactive art, we are creating a platform for art that brings variety to life and allows society to confront its polyphonic nature in a lighthearted manner without fear of controversy.

Sustainable creation of art: advancing sustainability everywhere

While acting sustainably is something we should all be doing, getting there will take time. Our cultural projects address the issue of what prevents sustainable behavior in the arts and in society. We are able to reinforce the significance of art as a catalyst for sustainable change thanks to this work.

By cultural initiatives and platforms that transcend national boundaries, we are establishing forums for communication and collaboration.

We view the cultural work we do as international learning communities, and we are dedicated to international networking and co-creation. This involves providing platforms for shared learning and working as well as artistic interventions in cities and online to foster dialogue and collaboration between various cultural scenes. In Africa, the performing arts are prioritized, but music is the main focus.
