After my stay in Linz I directly travelled to Lucerne (a beautiful train-ride through the mountains) to build the Strapazin-exhibition I had been organizing and preparing before.

Fumetto had invited the newest issue of “Damenstammtisch” of Strapazin to have one of the main exhibitions of the festival ! Not only that: they also invited all of the contributors to come to the festival!

I didn’t know most of the artists of this issue in person so it was great to meet Caroline Sury, Gabrielle Bell, Vanessa Davis, Elisabeth Zwimpfer and all the others I already knew before : Sharmila Banerjee, Ulli Lust and Kati Rickenbach!
And not to forget Dominique Goblet, who was not actually part of the exhibition, but hung around with us and delighted us with her presence!

It was a great time with all the great help of the building-team and actually the whole Fumetto-Team!!!!! And of course with all the other artists, events and exhibitions after the festival started!

Hope to see you next year!
