Cameroon’s new art hub, Bwo Gallery, is set to debut on September 2, 2023. The inaugural celebration will introduce the gallery to Central Africa’s art scene and feature an exhibition by Sesse Elangwe. Founded by Brice Yonkeu and Noelle Mukete-Elhalaby, Bwo Gallery aims to amplify contemporary African art voices through its unique platform.
The gallery’s birthplace holds significance, with personal ties to Cameroon and a nod to the country’s cultural achievements. Bwo aims to uplift the next generation of Cameroonian artists while fostering cross-cultural dialogue on a global scale. Named after the Medumba word for “beauty,” Bwo finds its home in Douala’s upscale district of Bonapriso. This dynamic location boasts accessibility and conveniences for local and international visitors alike.
