The tenth edition of LUSTR did bring together ten illustration and comics festivals from around the world. Illustrators, comics creators, and curators from Hong Kong, Spain, Slovenia, Belgium, Germany, Taiwan, France, Greece, and Hungary came to Prague to collectively create a Metafestival – a festival of festivals that have survived the times of COVID.
As part of the national lounge, this year’s presentation was unusually focus on Czech creators who have shone the brightest at LUSTR over the past decade. The exhibition also featured the work of the illustration duo Tomski&Polanski, celebrating their tenth anniversary, and the Prague premiere of the exhibition ‘Kdo vypráví komu o čem’ (Who tells whom about what), which earned acclaim in London by David Böhm and Jiří Franta.
In addition, the festival, as it does every year, was preparing an exhibition section showcasing young talent, presenting undiscovered talents in the field of illustration and comics.
Who can apply?
Anyone who has never exhibited at the LUSTR festival can apply. In addition to the traditional sections Comics and Free Illustration, and a new section for 2024 has been added – Authorial Collectives. This section allows the presentation of projects such as printing workshops, independent publishing houses, or illustrator groups.
How does it work?
The application and participation in the exhibition are free of charge. Exhibitors are responsible for covering the installation and associated costs themselves. After the closure of the OPEN CALL, a jury will select approximately 50 exhibitors. In early June, we will contact you with more precise information about whether you have been selected or not, and provide details on the installation of your exhibition. An informational email regarding the selection outcome will be sent to all applicants. An important criterion for selection is that the submitted artworks are created as part of free creative expression and not primarily commissioned pieces.
