At an exhibition of contemporary art at Cameroon's National Museum we meet a number of successful Cameroonian female artists. They show us our work and talk about their paintings, sculptures and art wares, and about being a woman and an artist in Cameroon. Their works of art are often inspired by local tradition, and focus mainly on the role women play role in society and women's work. "We want to show that women do not just exist, they create as well" says one of the artists in the film.

SUEDE
Med utgångspunkt i en stor utställning av nutida konst på Kameruns nationalmuseum får vi lära känna en rad framgångsrika kvinnliga konstnärer och deras verk. De berättar om sina målningar, sina skulpturer och konsthantverk - och genom att tala om sin konst berättar de också om hur det är att vara kvinna och konstnär i Kamerun.

Många av verken inspireras av lokal tradition med fokus på kvinnor, deras arbete och roll i det samhälle de lever i."Vi visar att kvinnor inte bara existerar, kvinnor skapar också", som en av konstnärerna säger.
