Thursday, 26 August 2010 08:36
The Africa e Mediterraneo Award for the best unpublished comic strip is open to African artists living in or outside Africa who wish to “tell their own stories, to communicate living conditions in Africa, to denounce the lack of human rights, to describe conditions of migration, or to free their mind and sense of creativity”. This year Roberto Millan, MPhil student in the Department of Visual Arts, Stellenbosch University, won first prize in the competition for his comic strip “Hello Neighbour” in the category of Free Subject. Roberto explains that Hello Neighbour forms part of a series of autobiographical comic strips that recall and reflect on his life as a child, the domestic issues that accompanied it and his Mediterranean heritage.

3Ayhe! Out and Online!
Saturday, 26 June 2010 18:16
3Ayhe! is the third edition of the Ayhe! series of home-grown mini-comics, produced by artists in and around Cape Town. The project began in 2007 and aims to publish an annual comic written and illustrated on the streets of Cape Town. 3Ayhe! is the result of a collaboration between Ayhe! and the Comic Art Unit of the Centre for Comic, Illustrative and Book Arts (CCIBA) at Stellenbosch University.
The collaboration made an artistic exchange possible between two postgraduate visual arts students at Stellenbosch University and four aspiring artists from Dunoon. With different backgrounds and educational levels, but a common passion for comic art, the participants overcame a variety of hurdles and distances (both literal and figurative), to produce an unusual mix of stories and styles.
