It down-ends the male-centered 'big men' narratives of post-colonial Africa in(...)

Summary:
If Euro-America, under the weight of its projected discourses, is able only to imagine the work of individual African artists as metaphor for nation, continent or race, the art of Wangechi Mutu seduces us brutally into the intricacies of the feminine as an embodiment of nation and species. It down-ends the male-centered 'big men' narratives of post-colonial Africa in favor of frightfully powerful animal-spirit women and their constituent body parts. Her work forces our collective engagement with the feminine form in its various conjugations of lover, giver and receptacle, but also as predator and merciless avenger. Michael E. Veal

Summary:
AYA tells the story of the studious and clear-sighted young woman, her easy-going friends Adjoua and Bintou, and their meddling relatives and neighbors in the golden time of the Ivory Coast in 1978. It's a breezy and wryly funny account of the desire for joy and freedom, and of the simple pleasures and privates troubles of everyday life in Yop City. An unpretentious and gently humorous story of an Africa we rarely see, spirited, hopeful and resilient. AYA won the 2006 award for Best First Album at the Angoulême International Comics Festival, Oubrerie's warm colors and energetic, playful line connect expressively with Abouet's vibrant writing.
