Barthélémy Toguo is a Cameroonian artist whose multifaceted work spans drawing, watercolor, painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and performance. Named UNESCO Artist for Peace in 2021, Toguo's art interrogates global issues, including immigration, viruses, and water scarcity, often from a cross-cultural perspective. His exhibition at the Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac, "Craving for Humanity," addressed these themes through powerful visuals, such as vases depicting Ebola and HIV viruses, inspired by his collaboration with the Institut Pasteur in Paris. Another striking piece, "Strange Fruit," evokes the mistreatment of Black individuals, resonating with events like George Floyd's murder. Toguo's work, informed by his studies in Ivory Coast, Grenoble, and Düsseldorf, has been featured in the Venice Biennale and is in prestigious collections worldwide, including MoMA and the Studio Museum in Harlem​​​​​​​​.
