Photos, videos and messages flash by every day. We’re everywhere all at once. Does this whirlwind of communication and consumerism leave any space for the folklore, rites and rituals that invisibly connected our ancestors for so long? How does our collective memory evolve in an expanding society? Is the world our oyster, or do we increasingly live in a bubble? Where can we share intimacy these days, what is real, and what is virtual?
During the twelfth edition of Grafixx this autumn, an international selection of graphic artists will invite you to explore the traditions of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The festival theme of transmission inspires a rich menu of lectures, exhibitions, workshops, screenings, and performances. The icing on the cake? Our zine fest serves stacks of remarkable publications to devour at home.
With Anders Nilsen US, Atsuko Ishii JP, Carll Cneut BE, Céline Hudréaux FR/BE, JooHee Yoon US, Kim Troubleyn BE, kuš! LV, Leif Low-Beer CA, Marc Bell CA, Nino Bulling DE, Wide Vercnocke BE, Yvan Alagbé FR and many more.
