Nordicomics.info - New Nordic comics!
The Nordicomics.info exhibition explores the contemporary Nordic comics through debuting artists from Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.
What do Nordic countries have in common? Is it reasonable to talk about the Nordic comics on the whole? The Nordic comics cultures do have similar traits. New artists and publishers are constantly emerging. The field is lively and international in all of the countries, with all kinds of different activities. However, the artists often remain unknown outside their own country.
The Nordicomics.info exhibition is touring in Nordic countries. The first exhibition was held in Helsinki 4th to 29th of August with a workshop. The exhibition will tour in Oslo, Stockholm. Different adjoin events will take place alongside the exhibition with the artist included in the exhibition and the local artist. Now the exhibition travels to St. Petersburg and complement the work of the St. Petersburg authors.
