In Focus Tobias Schrank © Goethe-Institut Time to listen The current situation has forced many people around the world to stay at home and follow the news. In this isolation they hear the news of a global crisis and threat. As in Boccaccio's “Il Decamerone” and many other myths and books of other cultures, the description of the disaster is followed by stories. The project “Time to listen” presents a collection of stories - told by storytellers from all genres of art, from all over the world. © Illi Anna Heger + Sam Orchard Comic Queer Comic Conversations Queer Comic Conversations is a webcomic series by artists Illi Anna Heger and Sam Orchard where they discuss similarities and differences about queer and trans lives.The series stretches from July to December 2020; every month, a new episode will be released.
