As comics are a unique marriage of visuals and narrative, bkk UNZINE has decided to fully emphasize this core aspect of the medium with this year’s theme of “Storytelling.” Last year’s curation of works from different corners and eras of comic art was one we are especially proud of, as it highlighted not only the diversity of comics content in Thailand, Asia and beyond, but also wove its own narrative of the evolution of said content throughout the years to the offerings of the burgeoning local comics field. With “Storytelling,” this year’s curation will showcase how comics artists weave narrative through their pictures to tell stories, with or without words, demonstrating what makes comics art so special.

This October’s BKK Comics Art Festival will also expand the convention programming to fill both Saturday AND Sunday with panels, workshops and other fun activities. We’re already working on a very exciting list of notable guest talent from around the world and putting together a variety of features for all ages.
