Bonaventure Ndikung, a Cameroon-born figure, is the director of Berlin's "Haus der Kulturen der Welt" (House of World Cultures). He aims to transform the cultural institution, originally built for propaganda purposes during the Cold War, into a space that celebrates post-colonial multiculturalism. Ndikung's first project, "Quilombismo," features an exhibition of contemporary art from post-colonial societies across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania. He has renamed the rooms in the center after women who have been erased from history. Ndikung also hopes to open a museum in Cameroon, but the ongoing war in Bamenda prevents him from doing so.
