Łódź Pełna Komiksu #21. Striving for Minimalism: A Survey of Polish Minimalist Comics at Centrum Komiksu EC1

An exploration of minimalism in comics – its origins, evolution, and why so many creators embrace it. We'll trace its history in Polish comics and examine contemporary authors who innovatively explore this aesthetic today. The discussion will address key questions: How to understand minimalism? Is it about line work, composition, narrative, or all of these? Where are minimalism's boundaries? When does formal restraint become emptiness versus strength? Does minimalism dominate Polish comics – is it a trend, conscious artistic choice, or a hallmark of the local scene? Hosted by Kamil Słupiński and Marcin Czopek. Free admission.
