B.O.B.
Event Hours: 12/09/2025 (17:30)
Location: Katedrala - Kino Šiška
Michele Marchetti, David Genchi

We are two underground comic artists from Italy that recently made a comic book named B.O.B., published by Hollow Press; it touches various topics that are listed in the call and so, after seeing the TTT event, we thought that it would be perfect to present it in such an open environment, that could surely create stimulating conversations. To be specific (and generic at the same time) the comic talks about a misterious entity that has the power to subtract limbs and organs from all humanity at once, and about how humanity adapts (hypotetically) to these changes, this is the core of the narrative, but we use it also to explore mass communication, capitalism, parasitism/symbiosis, evolution, climate crisis, etc. If you are curious we added the link for the Pdf of the full comic book in english.
