Goddy Leye (Rijksakademie 01/02) started Artbakery in 2002. Artbakery wants to stimulate the arts in Cameroon and the surrounding region. A special focus is on multimedia.
Artbakery aims to improve the chances of local artists and their production of contemporary art through interaction and exchange with more experienced colleagues within Cameroon and abroad. By organising workshops, master classes and the ‘portfolio programme, they try to reach this goal.
This website shows some of the activities. More information on the website of ArtBakery and Goddy Leye.

Their action will be developed following three main axes:
1- The installation of a small radio with a range of 1km,
2- The remake of a sequence of the most popular film watched in Bessengue, with members of the population acting in the new movie

These axis are intended to overlap on one another.
