Screening and discussion with Guy Wouete


April 20th at 7 p.m. | Limited seats! First come, first served basis!

Dazibao and Vidéographe join forces to present a video program showcasing several works by Guy Wouete. A discussion between curator Pierre Beaudoin, initiator of the project, and the artist will follow the screening.

Guy Wouete’s videos address issues such as migration, borders, identity, displacement, non-places. Some of his works, in which reality goes beyond fiction, engage critically with the surrounding world, confronting political, economical and societal paradoxes.

Born in Douala, Cameroon, Guy Wouete divides his time between his hometown and Antwerp (Belgium). Recipient of numerous prizes, he has participated in many biennials and festivals, among them, the Havana Biennale, Les Rencontres de Bamako and recently, the Toronto Images Festival.

Engaged in the visual and media arts milieu for 30 years, Pierre Beaudoin is a consultant, curator and performance artist. His curatorial practice focuses on contemporary African art.
