doual'art is a non profit cultural organisation and art centre founded in 1991 in Douala, Cameroon and focussed on new urban practices of African cities.
The salon produces the itinerant exhibition Making Douala 2007-2013[1] which was presented in 2012 at the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam within its official programme,[2] at the Dakar Biennale as an off event[3] and on Lucas Grandin's website [4] In 2013 it participated at Art Dubai doual'art by exhibiting the artists Em’kal Eyongakpa, Boris Nzebo and Joseph-Francis Sumégné and by representing the artists Romuald Dikoumé, Justine Gaga, Haco Hankson, Aser Kash, Koko Komégné, Salifou Lindou, Hervé Yamguen and Hervé Youmbi.
In producing site-specific urban interventions, doual'art works as an intermediary between social and economic actors, population and local collectives.
It perceives cultural and artistic initiatives as a tool for consolidating freedom of expression and social cohesion, which allow in their turn transcending and overcoming closures and cleavages.
doual'art implements a participatory approach to cultural practice, negotiating with local communities, NGOs and authorities their specific needs and aspirations and involving artists as facilitators of the development processes.
