We’re now in the process of finishing the selection for ParaVox #1: PALESTINE, but we also want comics and texts for the next issue!
ParaVox #2: (ANTI)RACISM
Long ago, European countries propagated the notion of white supremacy, of how other races would inevitably perish to make room for the (Western) European peoples. Today, race is mostly not talked about openly in that way, but the same notions live on and thrive in many circles, even if expressed in other ways. These days there’s talk of culture, religion and criminality, but there is always an implied image of who has an obvious right to a space and who must always justify their existence, be grateful, obedient and assimilated. Racism is not just about how we look at each other on the streets or at work, but also about how our lives are concretely affected by legislation around migration, discrimination, behavior and culture.
We want comics and texts looking at the phenomena of racism and antiracism from different angles, bringing personal experiences, theoretical reasoning, and visual interpretations.
Deadline: Apr 5, 2026
About the image:
An activist in Sweden recently left a basket or apples painted with the face of Hitler outside the home of Johan Forssell, the Swedish minister of migration, as a protest against Sweden’s support for the Syrian government (with ties to Al Qaida), which in practice financially supports their current attack on the Kurdish areas. The deal was made to facilitate deportations of asylum seekers from Sweden to Syria. The apples were a symbol for the apple not falling far from the tree, since it was revealed that Forssell’s son was active in a Nazi orgnaisation.
