Black Hands, sculpture, video-intallation, Guy Woueté 2021
Guy Woueté, born in 1980 Cameroon. He is based in Antwerp and Douala.

Woueté’s work always encompasses elements of social criticism, questions surrounding borders, migration and symbols of domination in an era of globalisation. Using history as a source of material, Woueté blends records of experience, emotion, feeling in collages, installation, performance, video and photographic work. He also works in sculpture, painting and makes artists’ books.
For our 30th anniversary publication, Woueté was interviewed by Aude Christel Mgba. Download the PDF here.
