BEZ VLASŮ

Tereza Drahoňovská, Štěpánka Jislová (Paseka) 

Author Tereza Drahoňovská and illustrator Štěpánka Jislová will present a joint work that follows the rich tradition of autobiographical comics. Tereza never thought she’d be bald before her boyfriend. She couldn’t imagine missing the ponytail that tickled her back. And she certainly wouldn’t have thought that the neighborhood and the people on the street would show their support, thinking she was going through chemotherapy.

MÁRA ČMÁRA & MARTINA FISCHMEISTER

Illustrators Martina Fischmeister and Mára Čmára will talk about their beginnings and how they came to illustration. The duo from Prague will present their recent work, which includes, for example, a series of prints and indie comics, as well as mural art, illustrations for magazines, books and more.
