ART CITIES: Berlin-Ajarb Bernard Ategwa

Cameroon’s largest city, Douala, has had many foreign influences in the past, more recently having experienced an influx of mi- grants from within the country, as well as from its neighbouring regions. Shaping Douala into the vibrant and colourful metropolis that it is today, its evolving landscape is a major source of inspira- tion for Ajarb Bernard Ategwa, whose paintings form a constella- tion within a larger narrative based on the chaos of his hometown.
