Guy Woueté (1980, CM/BE) is an artist living and working in Antwerp, Douala, and Penja. 

Guy Woueté’s artistic practice spans various media, including drawing, sculpture, installations, video, photography, performance, and publications. Guy Woueté engages in questioning the role that Western superpowers have played in shaping the political developments within the African continent. He sheds light on the enduring and harmful outcomes of these interventions. His practice is also a quest of possibilities that persist in the upheavals that shape the world. Crossing into social criticism and activism, Guy Woueté’s artistic work employs and questions various forms of protest. The artist delves into subjects such as colonialism, racism, capitalism, migration, and symbols of domination, examining their implications in everyday life.
