✏️ WOBBY’S WORK-SHOP

During the Illustrada Festival on 6 and 7 September, Wobby.club celebrated its 10th anniversary with a special exhibition in a pop-up shop in the city centre of Tilburg, showcasing all 41 published Wobby issues, art prints, and special editions from the archives. Besides this, we hosted free workshops where illustration served as a tool for dialogue, expression, and connection. Three groups took part, each bringing their own energy and perspectives. The workshop hosts and participants felt safe opening up, which helped create a creative and collaborative atmosphere. Posters were printed on-site using a Risograph printer, giving each piece a bold and vibrant look that amplifies and clearly communicates the message.

In workshops led by feminist activist group Dolle Mina’s Tilburg and queer community Qult, participants discussed safety on the streets, sharing personal stories and insights. These sessions encouraged dialogue, inviting everyone to share perspectives and creatively translate them into powerful activist posters.

In the RPG character design workshop, multidisciplinary artist Keanu Schipper shared examples and ideas to inspire participants to create autobiographical characters using analogue techniques. By rooting characters in their own identities and backgrounds, the workshop opened space for diversity, representation, and personal storytelling.
