Cholín publication
Krejčová, Kristýna ; Franta, Jiří (referee) ; Macháček, Mikuláš (advisor)
In short, my aim of this work is to introduce a unique place connected with my childhood – Cholín – by the media of comics and to outline its unusual social structure. I am trying to achieve this goal differently than by collecting data and structuring them. Instead of that, I create stories based on reality. My inspiration comes from oral narration and literary sources that have been published by members of the Cholín community. In parallel, I work with a local urban legend named Kvakev which is becoming a central figure. With her help, the comics are changing into a fictional document balancing between reality and imagination.
