FESTIVAL WEEKEND: SEPTEMBER 4/5 – Livestreams, Artist Alley, Workshops and more!
Thank you for an unbelievably great festival weekend 2021!
We are overwhelmed by so many visitors in the museum and in the streams. Many thanks also to all comic artists, experts and comic publishers in the program and in the artist alley, to the sponsors, to the Museum for Communication Berlin and all the helpers. And: Laëtitia, this was for you. ❤️
Exhibition: Role models. Feminism in Comics and Illustration
10-18:00
Exhibition: The Berlin Comics Grant 2021
12-17:00
Family activities live at the Museum Three stations in the Museum invite comics fans young and old to participate in their own creative activities. Come up with wild, colorful and funny characters or become your own superhero!
Station 1: Superpowered Superhero Masks Superheroes in comics are, of course, not supposed to be recognized. In their daily lives and at school, they are perfectly normal kids. But when they put on their superhero masks, it gives them superpowers! Take a selfie in the megacity of Communication and post photographic proof for your grandparents and your circle of friends.
Station 2: Photo Story in Unknown Worlds If not in Berlin, which world would you like to live in as a comics character? The deep sea? An ice planet? The jungle? With magical beasts or three-eyed creatures? Using green screen technology and photo editing tricks, conjure your own fantasy world on the iPad!
Station 3: Toilet Paper Wire Character Thingies We’re saving the world a little bit at a time and making precious treasure out of “garbage”! Even a whole family of superheroes can be created from it to help us keep Planet Earth clean. Off we go – grab the pliers, the recycling material, the hot glue and – zzzackwoooomhooooeee – bring the toilet paper wire thingies to life!
14-16:00
Only Saturday: Role models in the house. Live-drawing with comic artists Aisha Franz, Karolina Chyzewska, Sheree Domingo and DJane Mo Chan (Team Pommes)
