Ô Cameroon! is the first comprehensive visual anthology dedicated to a century of modern and contemporary Cameroonian art, spanning 1925 to the present.

Bringing together 180 artists and more than 325 images in color, this landmark collector’s volume traces the extraordinary breadth of Cameroonian artistic creation across generations, geographies and the diaspora. From pioneering figures and established masters to artists shaping new languages today, it brings into conversation practices and histories that have too often remained dispersed across studios, archives, private collections and continents.

Across 25 original essays, conversations and reflections, artists, curators, writers, scholars, collectors and cultural voices illuminate the histories, ideas, movements and encounters that have shaped Cameroonian art and its place within a wider African and global story.

Contributors include Alain Nkontchou, Amandine Nana, Aude Christel Mgba, Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, Brice Arsène Yonkeu, Chantal Edie, Christine Eyene, George Elombi, Fabiola Ecot, Frieda Ekotto, Idrissou Njoya, Imbolo Mbue, Ivan Etta Ojang, Jean-Pierre Bekolo, Koko Komégné, Landry Mbassi, Luc Mbah a Moute, Ly Dumas, Maréme Malong, Marilyn Douala Manga Bell, Narcisse Tchandeu, Nfon IV Mfon Ekoko Mukete, Nji Nchare Oumarou, Pascal Kenfack, Pascale Obolo, Paul-Henri Souvenir Assako Assako, Simon Njami and Vera Songwe.

More than a survey, Ô Cameroon! is an act of documentation, cultural memory and connection—bringing a century of artistic production into one space and creating an enduring record for future generations

An essential reference for collectors, museums and institutions, researchers, and anyone interested in African art, culture and intellectual history.
