Werewere Liking

Werewere Liking was born in 1950 in Cameroon and trained largely on her own, within a traditional education: she began with poetry and song, then came to painting. Settled in Côte d'Ivoire at the end of the seventies, she studied Black African pedagogical and aesthetic practices at the University of Abidjan, then founded the Ki-Yi M'Bock company and, around it, an artists' village in the heart of the city. A novelist, playwright and painter, she has written nearly thirty books, and the Noma Prize rewarded her in 2005.
