Senegal
ODIA, design for life

The Senegalese press artist with the artist name "Odia" gives an insight into his creative career. He not only talks about his publications such as "AS et Oussou", but also tells about his collaboration with publishers and various artists. He talks about the beginnings of Senegalese comics in the 1970s and about the importance of press drawings. These do not only maintain considerable importance for everyday readers but also increase newspaper sales considerably.
Odia gives an insight into the topics he deals with and finally analyzes the individual cartoons created by the students of the course.
