La Nouvelle Liberté, Public monument in Deido, Cameroon
The sculpture stands 12 meters tall with a 5-meter wingspan, constructed entirely from recycled metal materials weighing approximately 8 tons.
Created by artist Joseph-Francis Sumégné in 1996, the monument faced initial resistance and received its official inauguration during the SUD2007 cultural event.
The metal structure represents the recycling practices and adaptability of Douala residents through its innovative use of repurposed materials.
Located at Rond Point Deido, the monument serves as a central reference point connecting major boulevards throughout different districts of Douala.
Local residents gave the sculpture the nickname 'Njo Njo', meaning monster in the Duala language, reflecting the initial mixed reception of the artwork.
