The CAN for BALKANS – Comics Alliance Networking for Balkans project is hosting a comics competition and calling for applications for 2022. The project converges History, Art and Propaganda, to create a comics legacy of the History and Art without Propaganda. The resulting works portfolio will stand for an intercultural “dialogue” on Balkan history and will constitute the basis for both the exhibition and the catalogue design. The new, original and historically themed comic strip concept should be about what brings together the Balkan world and not about what divides it, about positive examples in the shared history, about unity in diversity. The comic strips should be genuine reconciliatory artistical messages meant for peace and trust consolidation, for tolerance and respect. This is why the organizers invite you, dear artists, to contradict the negative clichés as well as the cultural and social stereotypes on and from the Balkan world.
