BARCELONA.- Bàrbara Alca, Marta Cartu, Genie Espinosa, Ana Galvañ, Nadia Hafid, Conxita Herrero, María Medem, Miriampersand and Roberta Vázquez make up the constellation of creative universes that is this exhibition. Nine artists who experiment with styles and languages, who break with comic-book conventions, and share a critical and humorous view of the world.

Graphic Constellation presents the comic books and the diversity of languages, aesthetic registers and cultural references of these nine creators who, with their use of colour, graphics, and stylistic and narrative experimentation, challenge the established comic-book form.

In their work, these artists bring a critical eye and humour to themes of millennial reality such as economic and employment insecurity, the disappearance of stability, our relationship with technology, sisterhood and relationships on the Internet.

The exhibition is also an invitation to discover how a network of self-publishing fairs, small publishing houses and printers have consolidated the alternative scene on which these nine artists move and learn. And it highlights how comic books can step off the paper and come to life in other artistic media such as ceramics, tapestries and animations.

Comic books outside comic books: installations created by the artists

Graphic Constellation is a decision to exhibit the comic book in an innovative and unconventional way, where comics and characters from the books invade the exhibition space in nine installations that the artists have imagined specially for the occasion.

During the visit you can immerse yourself in their imaginaries in these nine spaces, make a match with the monsters of Bàrbara Alca’s dating application Cringer, play with Roberta Vázquez’s comic characters or go through a dimensional gate devised by Miriampersand.
