A House Without Windows
A House Without Windows | Ellison Marc
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
By the delicate hand of Didier Kassaï (Storm Over Bangui) comes a comic book documentary about the street children of Bangui, told in a style that mixes photos and illustrations. In the Central African Republic, children grow up in a state of insecurity, poverty, and malnutrition. The 2013 conflict only exacerbated this situation. The Central African Republic has become what many call "a house without windows." Through illustrations, photos and videos (activated via QR codes), this comic takes you into the heart of this "forgotten crisis." With Central African artist Didier Kassai and British photojournalist Marc Ellison as your guides, watch children at work in a diamond mine, observe life in a refugee camp, and meet the street children of Bangui.

This is a fantastic NF graphic novel about the Central African Republic. Photojournalist Marc Ellis dives into crime, poverty, education (or lack of,) refugee camps, street kids, domestic violence, diamond mines, and conflicts that are found here. Photographs paired with drawings by Didier Kassai make for a beautiful and heartbreaking book of people.
