Southeast Asian Comic Showcase & Pop-Up Library
Posted: October 28, 2014
Southeast Asian comics are on the rise. Find out more about Southeast Asian comic writers and artists, and the stories they tell in this showcase curated by CT Lim, and presented as part of SEA ArtsFest 2014, UK’s Southeast Asian arts festival.
Moving away from the Western and Japanese perspectives of what comics are, this curated showcase of Southeast Asian comics gives a different view of the medium and its possibilities. Concerns range from the personal to the political, which highlights the diversity of Southeast Asia itself.
The digital showcase go live on 24th October 2014., featuring a selection of comics by artists from across Southeast Asia:
‘Journey to East Java’ by Sheila Rooswitha Putri
‘The Way Back’ by Lefty

‘Nanny’ by CT Lim & Stephani Soejono
‘City Tales: Hanoi’ by Nguyen Thanh Phong
