Ausstellungseröffnung »ICH, DAS TIER. Vom bösen Wolf bis Donald Duck - Tiere im Comic«

In the organizer's words:

Animals shape the history of comics in their own characteristic way and to a very significant extent - whether it's the unlucky Donald Duck, the lazy, gluttonous Garfield or the wolf from "Fables", inspired by Grimm's fairy tales. The exhibition shows the wide range of animal characters in comics. Original drawings, sketches and merchandise provide an insight into the humor, the art of drawing and the history of comics right up to the present day.

In addition to numerous comic strips and multi-layered examples of human-animal relationships, the exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to transform themselves into an animal and tell their own comic story. Various positions on human-animal encounters, some prejudices about animals and their humanization are discussed in interviews.

Right at the beginning, a central question is posed: What characteristics do we ascribe to animals such as the wolf, the fox and other animals - in fairy tales and beyond - and why?
