22/06/2007 Something new from Cameroon

On 10 July at 17:30 at Iziko SA Museum, Zayd Minty will discuss an innovative cultural and urban transformation process presently under way in the Cameroonian town of Doulla. Described as an "act of re-imagination", this pilot community development project, which involves input from local inhabitants, has resulted in two creatively enhanced pieces of basic infrastructure: a water pump and foot bridge, as well as a number of art interventions. Entitled "An examination of Doual'art's Culture and Urban Transformation Processes", the discussion is being held as part of Iziko's Winter Public Programme. Entrance is free.
