The Cartiera experience in a comic
The Cartiera laboratory is the protagonist of a comic story published as part of the book “NATURE – The New Urban Trades in comics”
In this collection of 15 comics inspired by real individuals pioneering new urban professions in the quest for sustainability, you’ll encounter the narratives of individuals whose professions have emerged on the fringes of our cities. From the Upcycling Artisan to the Zero Waste Consultant, each comic strip unveils the stories, energy, and proactive spirit driving these new urban roles. Together, they provide invaluable environmental services while envisioning novel ways of urban living in harmony with our planet.
The partners of the Erasmus+ NATURE project aimed to produce a set of new training materials and resources for adult educators and professionals active in the field of inclusion to provide vulnerable groups of adults with skills and knowledge surrounding the topic of new urban trades for resilience.
The comic story inspired by Cartiera was written by Christophe Ngalle Edimo (a prominent French-Cameroonian screenwriter known for his contributions to the African comics scene), and drawn by Fifi Mukuna, an illustrator born in R.D. Congo and exiled in France.
