International artists
For the production of the comic strips and audio clips that are available on this platform, UNESCO commissioned talented musicians, singers and illustrators from different countries (France, Madagascar, Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal, United States, etc.).
This project will contribute to the visibility of illustration and graphic arts in Africa and constitute a springboard for the young artists involved.
