Mireille Nyangono Ebene (*1995, Douala) professionally known as Nygel Panasco is an illustrator, comic artist, musician and performer. After studying illustration at la HEAR, in Strasbourg she started working on small projects as much in music (first concerts), as in illustration (zines and festivals). She has done several contributions for various magazines and institutions (WIP Carhartt, Censored, La Déferlante, PLS, Le Palais de Tokyo, etc). She participated in a number of collectives and solo exhibitions in France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany. In 2022, her first graphic novel Down Memory Lane is published by Colorama Print.

Delving into her multicultural upbringing and the role of religion within her family, Mireille is intrigued by taboos and the boundaries not to be crossed, aiming to bridge topics that societal conventions often set in opposition. For the past few years, her artistic endeavors have revolved around a post-apocalyptic, soft science-fiction universe, heavily influenced by an revisited Christian imagery. She aims to present a vision of the future that stands as an alternative to numerous Western narratives. Her work takes anchor in a movement of resitance against an ever present colonial reality. She directs her focus toward the destinies of Black characters, descendants of Black people. Thus, her gaze falls upon their bodies, identities—our bodies, our identities—with the intention of making our multifaceted humanity visible.
