Judith Kaluaji Jashita developed a passion for comics and painting at an early age and, after graduating from high school, began studying painting at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Kinshasa. In 2010 she became a member of the Kin Label community and participated in the first edition of the Kin anima bulles (Festival International des dessins et du film d’Animation) organized by the Institut Français in Kinshasa. Her comic strips were first published in the first edition of the “Amazone” magazine and in 2011 she won a prize from the Festival International de Bande Dessinée d’Alger. Kaluaji worked for two years as an illustrator at AETA, an organization that campaigns for awareness-raising in the Congo. The aim of her work is to awaken Congolese youth, who in their eyes are dreamy, distracted and unproductive. Her comic strips address violence against women, religion and family life in the Congo.
