On September 12 & 13, Cross Comix takes over De Doelen in Rotterdam with two days of art, comics, zines, animation, virtual reality, and graphic novels. Soak up that vibrant festival atmosphere! Tickets available now!

This year spotlights female creators who have reshaped visual storytelling in Europe over the past 50 years. With talks by Aimee de Jong (Lord of the Flies), Lauraine Meyer (Feminists in Progress) Merel Barends (VR!), Melek Zertal, animator Vera van Wolferen, Victoria Lomasko (The Last Soviet Artist) and Belgian author Judith Vanistendael.

Don’t forget to bring your own prints and art so you can trade at the laid-back Friday night Swap party! Get professional advice at Meet the Editor. Meet fellow artists at the Makers Market and browse top international zines at the Zine Kiosk. Don’t miss the Small Press Award ceremony, plus international exhibitions, performances, parties, book launches, and talks by comics scholars. Immerse yourself in two days of visual storytelling unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
