The artists' collective SPRING has been publishing the anthology of the same name for 20 years, creating a stage for the diverse voices of female illustrators from Germany and other countries. What unites them is their passion for storytelling with graphic means - the visualization of stories. The focus is on personal and professional exchange: all decisions are made jointly and democratically. Every year, the artists come together and discuss which theme could be relevant and exciting for the new edition. The power of the collective opens up a space for fun, constructive and intensive collaboration.
As part of the extensive program of events, the Bremen comic audience has the opportunity to get to know the artists personally and to enter into a close exchange with them - for example during the two-day workshop.
The SPRING collective will be showing old ghosts and new stories in room 404:
a selection of works from the currently published issue Spring#22 and works on past issues.
