Goethe-Institut 2021 Namibia Call For Submission Of Ideas: Africomics

The Goethe-Institut in Sub-Saharan Africa is working on a project called "AfriComics". The aim of this project is to promote and encourage the use of comics/graphic novels as a means of artistic, social and cultural expression. For this purpose, we plan workshops with African and German comic artists as well as a publication. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, physical encounters cannot yet take place, so we are first starting to create a video library that future workshop participants can use to prepare themselves independently.

The videos will be presented on a self-learning platform to prepare future workshop participants.

Possible topics could be:

  • Interesting artists or series of your choice.
  • History of the comic scene.
  • Particular tools, programmes and techniques.
  • Specifics of marketing or publishing graphic novels.
