Spreading culture through comics

Recent highlights:

1. Through comics, 33 Australian artists express their creativity and identity at the exhibition titled Australian Comics – Promoting Culture Through Visual Story Telling, which is on view at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC).

2. Ben and Jakub are fond of comics because they feel they are a language that can connect people with the same interests and they hope the exhibition will open some opportunities for Australian artists.

3. When asked about the uniqueness of Australian comics, Ben said he thinks Australian comics are a little rougher around the edges and look a little bit messy
