This collaborative initiative seeks to inspire environmental consciousness through the power of comic art, inviting artists from the MENA region to explore their languages, rituals, traditions, and unique contexts in order to tell stories about climate change.
In April 2023, twelve talented creators hailing from Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria have been commissioned to produce new comics that address pressing issues related to the climate crisis and environmental threats.
