On the occasion of the Comic Strip Festival, we present an exhibition of Ukrainian comics authors

Ukrainian comics have been experiencing dynamic development for many years. The best-known Ukrainian artist is Igor Baranko, who creates for French publishers and Americans since the 1990s. Over the past ten years, many great artists, many of them women, have made their debut in Ukraine. They cover a wide variety of genres and themes, from band historical comics to science fiction and fantasy, including contemporary themes, especially the war and the Russian aggression against their country. The exhibition will present a sample of contemporary Ukrainian comic creators who work for publishers such as UA Comix, Vydavnytstvo, Vovkulaka, Lantsuta Publishing, Lyuta Sprava and The Will Production. Ukrainian comics are worth showing, not only for political and social reasons , but also because of their high artistic level.
