“All This Want for Stagnation, There Must be Some Way Out of Here”. Similar to how the Chicks on Comics have worked in the past, and like the way we interact on our blog, for this exhibition we have created an openended dialogue. As part of our ‘game’ we purposely shared nothing more than sketches in advance, not knowing more about each other’s contribution than that we were creating variations on a common theme. Each of us worked with our own characters that moved through the world in a boat. Our comics reflect on the power of synergy, on the meaning of joining voices or of the lone voice. And this is the same spirit with which our collected comic pages can be interpreted. The combined sum of elements in our comics, the dialogue as a whole, with our different opinions and various views on one story is the actual story we are telling.
