Immersion Internship at Artopia
Douala, August 2026
From August 3 to 22, 2026, we had the pleasure of welcoming Judy and Aïcha as part of the Think Professional! program, led by the Goethe-Institut Kamerun.
Over three weeks, they explored the full spectrum of art professions—from creation and scenography to publishing and graphic design. After visiting LABA Douala, doual'art, and Bolo L'Espace Art & Culture, they curated and presented their very own exhibition.
A big thank you to Judy, Aïcha, the Goethe-Institut, Benoit Joseph Balla Owona, and all our partners for this wonderful collective journey!
