The exhibition allows visitors to enjoy unpublished materials and large size formats, hard to find in other comic shows. Since its first edition, curated by Mauro Entrialgo, the intention is to make a story of Madrid and write a multifaceted history of the city, with art, from the perspective of multiple artists. |
The exhibition shows unpublished works made specifically for the space, turning this project into a kind of "mural publication" in which the city is counted by sketches and you can enjoyed the walls of the space left as a record of the passage of each artist ... Among the most prominent figures, was the manga artist Yuichi Yokoyama, as guest artist by the Japan Foundation. |
On the CentroCentros's website you can check the inscriptions for the next workshops with the artists of "Cartoons for a City".

María Herreros proposes researching the subject of arguments. In particular the workshop invites to rummage in the biographies of each, use personal experiences and mix with fiction to narrate comic.
