Ange Kayifa is a multidisciplinary artist born in 1997 in Cameroon who uses her art to condemn violence against women. She was very young when she realized that plastic arts were the antidote for her mental and social sorrows. Thirsty for knowledge, she multiplied trainings and residencies with confirmed artists.

 

In 2014, she presented Casa Negra at the media library of the Institut français of Yaoundé in a multidisciplinary exhibition bringing together performance, fashion, design and installation. In 2018, she participated in the Rencontre Internationale d'Art Contemporain (RIAC) where she receives the ATELIERS SAHM award for a residency with two other artists from the Democratic Republic of Congo. In 2019, she participated in PIAR (Perfocraze International Artist Residency) in Kumasi, Ghana.

 

In 2021, as part of the Africa 2020 Season, she was in residency at the Montévidéo art center in Marseille, working on the subject of "Women's Bodies and Spirituality". The same year, she was invited to the Time Art Center in Berlin and presented her performance Vein of Hope as part of the project Fear, no fear.  She also participated in the exhibition Uselessness as usage at the Guangdong Times Museum in China with her video performance Trouble.

Today, Ange Kayifa explores other media, such as photography, video and installation art.
