Zine Fest
Grafixx organises a new open call for artists, collectives and publishers worldwide, asking them to send in their publications for sale at the zine fest of the twelfth edition of Grafixx festival (November 22—24, 2024). Participation is free, and all proceeds go to participants. Do you think your publications are a good fit for our festival? Submit your application before May 1st, 23:59 CET.
Grafixx is more than a festival around graphic arts. Our half-yearly in-depth evening Grafixx EXTD. brings together various speakers from the field around certain aspects of illustration, comics, visual arts, literature and design.
For Grafixx House Call, artist-teacher-curator Ephameron travels the world to visit some of her favourite creative friends. London-based illustrator Laura Carlin weaves a colourful world of wonder out of textured illustrations, children’s books and ceramics, bringing life to grey landscapes and a sense of comedy to the tiniest of human figures...
Chiara Lammens reports from the Ardennes, where nothing is what it seems. Through subtle details in her illustrations, she shows the collective human urge to be one with nature, to find solitude, peace and quiet. She keeps wandering, discovering new experiences around every bend.
On the occasion of the exhibition Off-Comics, Grafixx hosted a one-day programme on Saturday, March 23 at Museum Dr. Guislain Ghent. You could join us for a book club with Martha Verschaffel, Gabri Molist and Kaylan Saro, take part in Kim Troubleyn’s inspiring hands-on workshop, or browse the Zinerie with small press publications by artists from all over the world.
