Off-Comics presents an extraordinary history of the comic strip. Word and image come together in work that flouts all the rules. Heroes like Tintin, Captain America or Tex Willer appear in personal fantasy worlds and new protagonists come to life.

On the occasion of the expo, Grafixx is curating a special day programme at Museum Dr Guislain in Ghent on Saturday 23 March! Come and listen to the book club with Martha Verschaffel, Gabri Molist and Kaylan Saro, join the workshop with Kim Troubleyn, or be tempted to buy in the zine fest, with self-published works by artists from all over the world.

Programme

13h - 17h: Zine fest
A fresh portion of delectable small press will be served at the zine fest. Bookworms and image hunters will enjoy a carefully chosen selection of picture books, comics and zines from international authors and exciting publishers.
2pm - 5pm: workshop
Kim Troubleyn will teach you to etch with home, garden and kitchen tools! Join the table at any time.
15h - 16h: book club
During the book club, Martha Verschaffel, Gabri Molist & Kaylan Saro, together with Obi Mundorff, open their bookcase, and with it a piece of their creative soul. They will talk about their own recent publications, reveal their fondest sources of inspiration, and scrutinise favourite publications.
