Guy Woueté is a multidisciplinary artist. His diverse artistic practice encompasses drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, video, photography, performance, and publications. Woueté’s work critically examines the roles Western superpowers have historically played in shaping Africa’s political landscape, highlighting the enduring and often detrimental consequences of these interventions. At its core, his practice is a search for possibilities amid the upheavals that define contemporary global dynamics. Straddling the realms of social critique and activism, Woueté interrogates various forms of protest, engaging deeply with issues such as colonialism, racism, capitalism, migration, and the symbols of domination. His art explores the implications of these themes in everyday life, encouraging dialogue and reflection. Woueté studied sculpture and painting in Douala and was a resident artist at the Thami Mnyele Foundation in 2006 before attending the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam (2009–2010). He holds degrees from the University of Paris 8 and École de Recherche Graphique (ERG) in Brussels, where he also teaches.

Guy Woueté was born in 1980. He lives and works between Antwerp, Brussels, Douala, and Penja.
