Kronikas

Welcome 2024 ! We'll be presenting the brochure PANEL, PAGE, ARCHIVE. Preserving and transmitting Comics heritage,,, published as part of the first research phase of the consortium archives patrimoniales de la bande dessinée franco-belge and the Belgian presidency of the European Union from January to June 2024, thanks to the support of Wallonie-Bruxelles International and in agreement with our partners in Flanders.

This brochure is aimed primarily at comic strip authors and their heirs, as well as collectors and other archive holders (publishers, libraries, associations, etc.) who want to ensure that their heritage is not thrown away or dispersed. It answers any questions they may have about preserving their heritage.

To create a seventh high-quality issue, we selected the scripts and complete stories that were sent to us. The authors took up the challenge of the 'Art Nouveau' theme with panache. They were quick to go beyond the 'noodle' style to come up with projects that mimicked it or included it as a graphic element.

Algiers . Brussels . Havana. Moscow

Of course, comic book culture is firmly established in Brussels. This is much less true of Havana, Moscow or Algiers. This time, however, it involves a popular art form that lends itself to themes of every kind, including heritage. While being fully aware of the serious studies and academic publications devoted to this subject, we have sought to make our own unassuming contribution by introducing a dimension that is certainly imaginary, but is nonetheless based on realities that are sometimes concealed yet always experienced.

The revue is available now at the bookshop of the museum. Price : 5€.
