Comics residences in cooperation with “Kuš!”

James Turek (b. 1973, USA) living in Leipzig, Germany.

James’ comics have appeared in several anthologies, including kuš!, Smoke Signal, Drops and Kinki Magazine. He is currently working on ‘English mit James’, a children’s learning book for Klett Verlag, due out in fall 2013.

Turek will embark on a series of open workshops to places known or unknown in and around Riga. The sessions’ aim is to draw in places and to interact with people one normally does not, and to bring a sense of adventure and fun to making comics.

CUNE Comics-in-Residence (CUNE CiR) gives comic artists and other professionals a chance to explore the culture, the people and the local comics scene of their neighbouring European countries. Through individual projects and collaboration with local comics actives, the artists can form new professional and personal ties and exchange essential know-how. CUNE CiR is supported by Nordic Culture Point and Arts Promotion Centre Finland.
