The 13th International Comic Strip Festival of Algiers (FIBDA) held on Sunday in Algiers, Algeria’s capital, with Tunisia as the special guest of honor. The theme of this year’s festival was “Renaissance,” in reference to the festival’s resumption after a one-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fans of comics and manga of all ages had a great time over the last four days, as they were able to see a variety of exhibitions showcasing artwork from around the world. They could also purchase accessories and features for their favorite comic and manga characters. Several drawing workshops were held to teach new drawing techniques and instill a love of this fascinating art in the children. During the event, over 20 Algerian and international artists attended conferences and debates.
