Greetings from Cartoonia - The Essential Guide of the Land of Comics Pozdravi iz Striponije oz. Greetings
from Cartoonia je mednarodni
stripovski projekt pod vodstvom stripovske revije Stripburger
pri Forumu
Ljubljana. Projektu se je pridružilo 6 evropskih stripovskih
združenj: Dongery (Oslo, Norveška), Chili Com Carne (Lizbona,
Portugalska), Fundacja Transmisja (Poznan, Poljska), The
Finnish
Comics Society (Helsinki, Finska), Hardcomics (Bukarešta,
Romunija)
in Vivacomix (Pordenone, Italija) in MGLC.
Zgodbe so navdihnili predmeti in druge posebnosti obravnavanih držav: arhitekturni tipi, izdelki ljudske obrti, arheološke najdbe, kulinarične specialitete, modeli avtomobilov, endemične živalske vrste in lastne izkušnje. Zgodbe so avtorji mestoma začinili s humorjem, fantazijskimi interpretacijami in s tem presegli nacionalne stereotipe in kulturne razlike. V živahnem medkulturnem dialogu sodeluje sledeči slovenski avtorji: Kaja Avberšek, Jakob Klemenčič, Marko Kociper, Matej Lavrenčič, Gašper Rus in Matej Stupica. Na njihov prispevek se je odzval še Andrej Štular. Avtorji iz tujine pa so Bendik Kaltenborn (Norveška), Mateusz Skutnik (Poljska), Matei Branea (Romunija), Andrea Bruno (Italija), Jyrki Heikkinen (Finska) in Filipe Abranches (Portugalska). Greetings from
Cartoonia
is a new international comics project, launched by Forum Ljubljana and
its Stripburger
magazine from
The name
Cartoonia is derived from the word »cartoon«. As you may
know comics have been
marginalized in most of the European countries and even forbidden in
some of
them. Therefore we felt a need to establish a safe, lively country, a
fatherland of some sort to all cartoonists/comics artists of the world,
as well
as comics in general. The well-known citizens from these countries
are in this essential guide of the land of comics telling stories about homelands of the
other residents of the new Cartoonia land. The stories were
inspired by objects and other specialties of the countries:
architectural types, folk craft, archeological findings, food, cars,
endemic species and cultural differences. There are & Slovene and
& foreign artists involved in this lively intercultural dialogue:
from Slovenia, Kaja
Avberšek, Jakob
Klemencic, Matej
Lavrencic, Marko
Kociper, Gašper
Rus, Matej
Stupica, Andrej
Štular and Jure
Engelsberger.
Authors from other
countries include Bendik
Kaltenborn (Norway)
The project
