Annick Kamgang is a committed illustrator who documents the society that surrounds her through her ironic and caricatured drawings, both in the press and in literature. More commonly known as Kam, her drawings are inspired by her childhood in Cameroon and the political movements of the 1980s. Her best-known work, "Lucha", illustrates a group of Congolese youth committed to human rights.
Born in Yaoundé and raised between Cameroon, the Central African Republic and the French West Indies, Kamgang's vocation for activism was born in the footsteps of her Cameroonian father, founder of the UPA (Union des Populations Africaines), and her passion for drawing, after an atypical career in human sciences and telecommunications.
