“While the world witnesses significant geopolitical events impacting millions of people, Wobby #37 delves into the meanings of 'home'. With Wobby's characteristic poetic lightness and powerful color palette, 12 visual artists explore the theme of displacement. What makes a home? Can we return to what it once was? Ukrainian writer Kateryna Babkina wrote the central text. Wobby #37 is co-curated by Pictoric, a Ukrainian illustration collective that has been organising exhibitions, art projects, workshops and lectures with young Ukrainian creators since 2014. Since the large-scale invasion in 2022, the collective has increasingly focused on bringing attention to the war in Ukraine through visual art.”
A risograph-printed Dutch thematic magazine for illustration, comics and literature, this issue is co-curated by Pictoric and features contributions by Cristóbal Schmal, Jiacun Li, Kateryna Babkina, Khattar Shaheen, Lucie Lučanská, Marina Sulima, Oleg Schcherba, Omar Cheikh, Studio Seri/graph, Zhenya Oliinyk, Zsófia Rumi, Anna Sarvira (cover image), and Oleg Gryshschenko (centrefold).
