Hannele Mikaela Taivassalo & Catherine Anyango Grünewald: Scandorama
Scandorama on skandinaavinen idylliyhteiskunta, paikka jossa halutaan tulla täydellisiksi, eliittivaltio tiukkojen rajojen sisäpuolella.
Stohome on puhdas, kirkkaiden valojen kirjoma.
Toisella puolella lahtea sijaitsee Helsingy City, rapistunut ja rähjäinen, siellä asuu Miskatt.
Kaupungin pirstaleissa elää ihmisten pirstaleita, niiden epäsopivien pirstaleita jotka eivät mahdu Scandoramaan. Miskatt on yksi heistä, Homo Felinus, geneettinen hybridi naisesta ja kissasta. Miskatt piiloutuu maan alle elättääkseen itsensä valonaroilla vastarintatehtävillä, samalla hän ajautuu yhä kauemmas erään tietyn golden boyn, unelman, luota.
Hannele Mikaela Taivassalon kirjoittama ja Catherine Anyango Grünewaldin kuvittama sarjakuvaromaani hyvinvoivasta mutta muukalaisvihamielisestä Scandoramasta on vahva kommentti sitä vallitsevaa yhteiskunnallista ilmapiiriä vastaan, jossa paperittomat eivät saa olla olemassa.
“Scandoraman tarina on tieteiskirjallisuuden saralla pikemminkin klassinen kuin kekseliäs. (–) Tuttuihin kaavoihin ja käytäntöihin nojaaminen on kuitenkin mahdollisuus, jonka Scandorama käyttää hyvin.
Konventioiden kautta muodolla on tilaa hengittää. Tämä näkyy erityisesti ruotsalais-kenialaisen Anyango Grünewaldin kuvissa, kekseliäissä kompositioissa ja ilmeikkään herkissä viivoissa, joita sininen ja harmaa akvarelli sitoo yhteen. Hiljaisuus saa ruuduissa paljon tilaa.”

Disa Wallander: Becoming Horses
Sometimes I dream about myself
and in my dream I’m someone else
But also, I am me
becoming the horse that I want to be.
Was it always like this?
What if your self portrait was a collection of weird shapes?
Have you ever felt like an abstract painting?
Do you ever simultaneously wish and worry that the boundaries of your body will melt away and you’ll become a magnificent horse?
Becoming Horses is a book about squinting hard and looking from the right angle to find that everything around you sparkles–just a little–and the shapes of things are not firm but fuzzy. The You you know may shift and take form as a beautiful horse, a sunset, or something so special, so huge that you could never describe it.
Disa Wallander’s Becoming Horses is a mix of delicate cartooning and brash collage–watercolor and photography.
Her colorful flowing drawings and watercolors are experimental yet accessible, as her characters mull big questions about life and art, philosophizing in a thoroughly modern voice. Bright dialogue and pleading silences create a beautiful journey that is, in fact, “the destination.”
A fantastic exploration of movement and form. Evokes equal parts Jules Feiffer and Tove Jansson.–Michael DeForge, author of Leaving Richard’s Valley.
