September 4, 2020 - The 14th Herceg Novi Strip Festival (HSF) starts on Friday, September 4. The popular art event, which deservedly won the Caravaggio Award of the Republic of Italy for its particular contribution to promoting Italian culture, will be this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, without Italian artists, but with some of the world's most excellent comics artists of today. Find out below what awaits us in the "city of stairs" over the next six days.
Despite organization taking place under challenging circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the HSF team have managed to bring the cream of the world comics scene to Herceg Novi. The audience will have an opportunity to enjoy the art of Glen Fabri, Karen Holloway, Esad Ribić, William Simpson, Mirko Čolak, Milorad Vicanović Maza, Štef Bartolić, Krešimir Biuk, Tihomir Tikulin, Iztok Sitar, Filip Andronik, Milan Mišić, and Ana Omi. Andrija Vujošević, Luka Cakić, Miodrag Spasojević, as well as Luka Rakojević and Simon Vucković will join them to give lectures on comics.
On the first day of the festival, after the opening ceremony at Belavista Square, HSF invites the ninth art fans to a joint tour of the exhibitions in "Josip Bepo Benković" and "Sue Ryder" galleries. Over the weekend, this year will, as in other years, be full of content that visitors to one of the most loved comic festivals in this part of Europe are used to. HSF traditionally organizes a comic book exchange, drawing for fans and drawing on T-shirts, along with workshops, presentations, and parties.
