A Celebration of Co-Mix
Grab a sharpie and create your own comic masterpiece at City Library.
Overview
The creativity and highly imaginative storytelling that emerges from comics and graphic novels will be discovered, explored and celebrated in the Co-Mix exhibition at City Library this January. This month-long exhibition will feature past entries from the Lord Mayor’s Creative Writing Award in the Graphic Short Story category, with works that range from the comical to the contemplative.
The exhibition does not just demonstrate the exceptional talent of Melbourne’s storytellers, you the visitor are also encouraged to produce your own work. Join in on zine making workshops with the wonderful folk from the Sticky Institute, check out the Melbourne-made documentary Graphic Novels! Melbourne! or leave your mark on the Doodle Wall. Comics and graphic novels are an art form that is accessible and devoured by all ages, and a medium that never really goes out of style. It deserves to be recognised and celebrated, so grab a sharpie and see if you have what it takes to write the next Sin City, Ghost World, or Spiderman.
