To mark the Kafka Year 2024, the Goethe-Institut Ethiopia, together with the Austrian Embassy, is showing a poster exhibition "Komplett Kafka" based on the comic biography by Nicolas Mahler about the life and thoughts of Franz Kafka.
Franz Kafka not only wrote prose, he was also passionate about drawing.
The comic artist and illustrator Nicolas Mahler has staged Kafka's life and work in his comic biography "Complete Kafka" in an inimitably witty and poignant way and did not shy away from the really big questions: Why did Kafka's plan to write a series of cheap travel guides fail? Who wrote the sequel to one of his most important works, "The Retransformation of Gregor Samsa"? And what was the "white slave" all about? The answers and much more can be found in the book "Komplett Kafka", published in 2023.
On March 20, the exhibition will open with a digital illustrated lecture by comic artist Nicola Mahler at the Goethe-Institut. In April/May 2024, Nicolas Mahler will give a digital workshop "Zeichnen zu Texten von Kafka" for selected artists.
