¿¿Queer??Comix is a curatorial project aiming to create exhibitions on contemporary and queer comics.
The project draws its inspiration from Gay Comics One of the first comic book magazines dedicated to LGBT stories, published as early as 1980. Forty-five years later, how does the new generation of authors approach homosexuality in their works? What new forms does comic book take to translate desire, love, sorrows or the quest for identity?
The exhibition aims to showcase the work of emerging artists from Switzerland and around the world. It seeks to trace a symbolic genealogy between this new generation and their predecessors who dared to depict homosexuality for the first time.
The term "queer" has a double meaning: it refers on the one hand to LGBT struggles and on the other hand to an experimental, "strange" comic strip that explores new formats in which to materialize.
