CAMEROON

NZƏNDA – “door” or “way back home” in the Medumba language – transforms the space into an initiatory matrix unfolding across twelve chapters over 400 square meters. The project begins from a clear premise: the historical wounds of colonialism persist in bodies and in the land, and art can be used as a tool to heal them. Black volcanic sands, red barks, traditional textiles, medicinal plants, and sculptural entities intertwine with healing lights, performative gestures, and therapeutic sound waves, composed by a music label born within the walls of Douala’s prison. The journey guides the visitor through transitional stages that connect body, land, and spirit, because no healing is possible without passing through one’s own night.
