POP-UP COMIC EXHIBITION

In preparation for the upcoming exhibition ‘S*HEROES. Comic Art from Africa', the Weltkulturen Museum is hosting four female comic artists for a several week-long artist residency at the Museumsufer. On Friday, 4 April, from 7 to 9 pm, Charity Atukunda, Reine Dibussi, Akosua Hanson and Catmouse James will give a first insight into their work and present pieces that they created during a comic improv event together with four local artists - Katharina Hantke, Ilknur Koçer, Amelie Persson and Paulina Stulin. The sketches, drawings and short stories by the comic creators from Ghana, Kenya, France, Madagascar and Germany will be on display for two hours in an improvised exhibition at the Weltkulturen Labor. Previously published comics will complement the works created on this day in the Weltkulturen Museum.

There will also be a bar in the Weltkulturen Labor on this evening and the Weltkulturen Library in the neighbouring building, Villa 35, will be open with a varied programme as part of the ‘Night of the Libraries’.

The exhibition ‘S*HEROES. Comic Art from Africa’ can be seen at the Weltkulturen Museum from 1 November 2025
