ABOUT REGARTLESS
We are an art and culture organization and Activist movement with a mandate to protect, promote, and preserve cultural heritage and different forms of artistic expression. Founded in Bamenda during the height of the armed conflict, our work is guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – Agenda 2030 and the African Union Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want. Our work cuts across global issues such as Decolonisation, Advancing children’s rights, Climate Change, Social Justice, Women Empowerment, and Human Rights. The quest to reinvent Africa is at the center of the work we do. We acknowledge the evolution of the ecosystem and thus readily adapt to respond to the constantly changing circumstances. To achieve this, REGARTLESS is imploring the use of Arts, Culture, Sports, and Research to stir social conversations, inspire action for change, drive political reform, and improve livelihoods.
Our Mission
Contribute to Sustainable Development in the world, through local communities, using the tools; Arts, Culture and Sports.
Our Vision
Our vision is a world where local communities can individually and collectively provide creative and innovative solutions to global issues for global growth
Cultural Heritage is a critical part of humanity. Yet, it faces unprecedented threats from climate change, human-induced actions, armed conflicts, and historical injustices such as colonialism, racism, slave trade, etc. We are committed to working with local communities to ensure their right to a thriving cultural life while providing holistic approaches that address and redress root causes. At the interjection of our work is the quest for Justice (Transitional, Reparatory Gender, climate, and Restorative Justice). RGL continues to work on decolonization and reparatory Justice by engaging stakeholders in progressive dialogues, advocating and lobbying for the restitution of Africa’s heritage, decolonizing museum spaces and practices, promoting Afrocentric heritage practices, and safeguarding cultural heritage in armed conflict zones in Cameroon.
The creative industry is among the most dynamic sectors of the world economy and international trade (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development [UNCTAD]). According to the Creative Economy Report of 2010, international trade declined by 12% due to the financial crisis and the global recession of 2008. However, the world trade of creative goods and services continued its expansion, reaching $592 billion and reflecting an annual growth rate of 14% from 2002 to 2008. Despite this enormous potential, Africa has yet to benefit from its creative economy to accelerate development. The creative industry faces various challenges, including infrastructure, funding, and policy support in Cameroon. RGL is working with artists, local communities, and other stakeholders to create avenues and projects for capacity building, skills development, talent showcase, and policy change.
