Comics and Art Fest returns for 9th edition
The Istanbul Comics and Art Festival (ICAF), one of the city’s leading gatherings for independent and alternative art, is set to return for its ninth edition on June 13-14.
Organized by Dream Sales Machine, the festival will be held for the first time at Paribu Art, bringing together comic books, illustration, caricature, fanzines, animation and street art under one roof.
Over the years, ICAF has become a key meeting point for Istanbul’s independent creative scene, connecting publishers, artists, illustrators, designers and creative collectives while offering visitors more than a conventional festival experience.
This year’s program will feature prominent publishers including Gerekli Şeyler, Kara Karga, Athica, Kayıp Kıta and Flaneur, alongside artist booths representing names such as Big Baboli, Flashmarket, dirt cake studio, MRE, Bülent Gültek, Ezgi Arslan and Selin Çınar.
