Colonne Pascale

The Colonne Pascale is a permanent artwork located in the city of Douala (Cameroon).

La Colonne Pascale consisted of pots in vitreous enamel, which were used in the past by the housewives to protect the food and the drinks.

La Colonne Pascale is a simple and uncluttered dynamic line rising in the sky, located in the heart of a roundabout in the extremely lively quarter New Bell of Douala.

The intention of the artist was to pay homage to African women giving value to the culinary culture of the Cameroonian tradition.

People's controversies depend both on the physical position of the Colonne Pascale, appealing to historical events (the square was the epicenter of the riots that led to the independence of the country), and for its symbolic interpretation, since according to many people the artwork recalls and highlights the poverty of New Bell.
