For Jean-Jacques Kanté, visual artist mentor of these young prodigies, this experience is much more than a simple artistic initiation. It is a true awakening to autonomy and self-expression. A life lesson that could inspire vocations and shape the artists of tomorrow.
The Bayangam chiefdom, guardian of memory 👑🏰
By hosting this unique exhibition, the Bayangam chiefdom, embodied by His Majesty Georges Désiré Pouokam II, positions itself as guarantor of cultural heritage. A crucial role at a time when oral transmission is struggling to captivate new generations. These murals thus become real links between past and present.
This bold initiative, welcomed by 237online.com, opens a royal road towards a reappropriation of history by Cameroonian youth. An inspiring way to reconnect with your roots while cultivating your creative potential. Let us hope that this spark lit in Bayangam spreads throughout the country, so that art becomes synonymous with emancipation everywhere.
