Lingua Comica Reloaded

The work of 12 alumni of ASEF’s Lingua Comica programme, which tapped on the wide appeal of comics and graphic novels as a platform for cultural dialogue.The alumni took part in one of the three editions of the Lingua Comica residency which were organised in Singapore (2006), London (2007) and Kyoto (2008) along with over 50 other artists from different ASEM countries. To further strengthen the ties built up since 2006, in 2009, ASEF called on all Lingua Comica participants to propose new collaborations for a spin-off: the Lingua Comica Reloaded.The collection of five comics deals with topics from children’s games to economic crises – topics which affect everyone in an increasingly globalised, interdependent world.
