Three Russian and two Finnish comics artists got together and visited Helsinki and St. Petersburg in the autumn of 2018. Each had the assignment to create a unique story in connection to the history of Finland and Russia.
Terhi Ekebom found a connection in the habit of mushroom picking, and perhaps some life metaphors within. Juliana Hyrri explored her family’s village roots and difficult war stories narrated through generations. Ilja Obukhov got interested in the adventurous and tragic life of the author Maiju Lassila. Olga Posukh explored the architecture of Alvar Aalto, as well as her own roots. Anna Volovik made a story of her ideas about Linus Torvalds, the developer or the Linux open source software operating system.
