This project supports Princess Abumbi and the Bafut community from Cameroon in their efforts of showcasing the creative talent in the community. Art and design in the Bafut community are expressions of a culture of connection with the ancestors and good relationship with the land.
This circle focuses on fostering intergenerational connections and it is an opportunity to deepen our shared mission by connecting with the wisdom, resilience, and creative heritage of the Bafut people.
The Circle kicked off with an online session with Princess Abumbi and the Bafut community and it is currently looking for members that want to support this project further.
Showcase the artistic and design culture of the Bafut community

The journey so far...
Design as living dialogue
On January 10th, 2025, Design Reparations partnered with Princess Abumbi Prudence from the Bafut Community in Cameroon.
The presentation revealed an idea of design that is not just solving practical needs or being a vehicle of creativity, but as an ongoing conversation that transcends time.
Activities carried out during the project
Support the design and definition of the talent development space in the Bafut community
Create opportunities for the talent to reach people beyond the Bafut community
Design solutions to support the local talent in further learning and development
How we worked
We identifed skills and interests of the volunteers and aligned with the project.
The volunteers received further information about the project and how to contribute and with which commitment.
They joined calls to meet the rest of the team and other volunteers and then discuss together the nature of your contribution and joined our online community and meet all the other people working on all the different circles.
