Tanka Fonta (Buea, 1966. Lives in Berlin) is a visual artist, poet, writer, composer, and philosopher. His work explores human consciousness, the psychology of perception, and the interplay between thought, language, and visual phenomena. Fonta’s practice investigates the expressive and perceptual dimensions of thought, the evolving ecologies of the mind, and the mythopoetic narratives that shape human experience. He has participated in exhibitions at institutions such as Haus der Kulturen der Welt and SAVVY Contemporary, in Berlin, and Kunstverein Hannover.
