COMICS AS A WAY TO EXPRESS ONE'S SOCIAL STAND

Comics-workshop given by RESPECT project's artists

Comics are a wonderful world of plots and heroes diversity. But what do comics talk about? How are they created and what do they tell us? What comes up, when you speak about tolerance, xenophobia, respect and “disrespect” using comics’ language?

On our meeting you can :

• Find out what RESPECT project is and participate in discussion of comics
• Draw your own comics
• Meet new people and ideas

Come along and bring your friends!

RESPECT: comics for respect

RESPECT project are comics from different European countries for respect. Project was organized jointly by Moscow comics’ festival “ComMission”, Goethe Institute in Moscow and Center of modern art VINZAVOD with financial support of the European Union.
In this project we decided to try a completely new approach towards problems of tolerance, xenophobia and racism. Together with the Youth Human Rights Movement (and other social organizations) a new concept of respect to the right of each person to have their own distinctive culture is developed.
