African Comics
The public is showing an ever-increasing interest in this product of African creativity, which employs professional authors and represents an interesting field of study for a deeper understanding of this continent. Many projects and activities of the Lai-momo cooperative foresee the direct involvement of African cartoonists: these include, in collaboration with the Africa e Mediterraneo association, the institution of the award for the best unpublished African comic strip, the catalogue of which is published each year, the Common Values and Africa Comics Collection.
Arts and Interculture
Art and intercultural publications range from catalogues of exhibitions of African artists set up by Lai-momo, to illustrated teaching guides designed as a tool to facilitate the teacher in intercultural education activities.
