debate

In the past year, several original works have bolstered Slovenian comic book production, telling selected stories of Slovenian history and cultural heritage. Are comics an ideal tool for transmitting knowledge to new generations of readers? We will discuss how comic stories can build and consolidate collective historical memories with renowned comics creators Zoran Smiljanić, Marijan Pušavec and Jaka Vukotič. The debate will be moderated by historian Dr Blaž Vurnik.

The debate will be held in Slovene and is part of the international conference Remix Comix: Comics and Community.
