“Comix Creatrix: 100 Women Making Comics” was the exhibitions title.
It was focusing on female comic artists. Proving wrong the director international comics festival who said: “unfortunately, there are few women in the history of comics art. it’s a reality”. Each room focused on a different theme, discussing relevant issues or interesting themes. The description of the rooms were very well written and also discussing an interesting subject. The concept was very good of the whole exhibition and the selected comic artist were also very well chosen. It showed the depth of comics and that they can be relevant to todays problems, political or otherwise. Especially for someone not familiar with comics, it opens up a whole world and explains what the art comic is really about. This was an exhibition that I enjoyed a lot and would highly recommend it to anyone that is intrigued by comics.
Most comics that were exhibited were very detailed and drawn by highly skilled artist. I really enjoyed the exhibition and also liked the theme of female artists
The introductions to the room were also very helpful.
