There’s a rocket being filled with dreamers in Cameroon. Everyday dreamers who wonder what lies beyond the clouds, and dreamers who teach younger dreamers the basics of outer space education. My project is inspired by the first dreamer I knew: my cousin, who was ridiculed for wanting to become an astronaut from Africa. I, too, am a dreamer.
The photo series, "The Biker on the Moon," follows Souzia and his friends. Deep in the heart of Cameroon, in the bustling city of Douala, lives a commercial bike rider who fell in love with the sky. Supported by his fellow riders, he created a makeshift suit and helmet as a symbol of hope and inspiration. His dreams are valid, no matter how audacious.
The Creative
KREATIVE KWAME
Kreative Kwame is a Cameroonian artist and creative connecting art with social impact through exhibitions, collaborations and digital media. His practice first gained international recognition in 2020 with the UN 75th Anniversary exhibition in Paris, Geneva, and New York. He continues to spotlight urgent issues through photography, film, and community projects that drive change, evident in his first home based exhibition, uniting artists for a water related issues exhibition that benefited 750+ children in the Debunscha region.
Kwame has exhibited internationally, published in Lolwe and the University of Kennesaw's literary magazine, and won the 2024 Cameroon Youth Award for Arts for a Social Cause. In 2025 he was selected for the NEWF Reimagining African Narratives fellowship in South Africa, mentored by World Press Photo laureates.
