Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption: Comic Exhibition

In September ’09, Ctrl.Alt.Shift ran a competition asking people to create comic strips on the theme of corruption. The winner’s work was exhibited in the Lazarides Gallery in London in November ’09 alongside a retrospective look at how comics and satire have been used throughout history to highlight political important issues.

The exhibition launches the new anthology, Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption, a collection from some of the world's best graphic novelists, comic artists and satirists – such as Lee O'Connor, Pat Mills, V V Brown, Dave McKean and Dan Goldman – who have come together to engage and challenge the issues of social justice. The limited edition comic book features original work and hopes to enthuse and politicise a new generation of activists through the medium of popular comic culture.

A selection of pieces from Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption will be exhibited at the The Jam Factory in Oxford, alongside the winners of the November ’09 Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption comic strip competition.

The one-off comic book anthology, Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption, will be available to buy at the exhibition.

The opening night on Wednesday 30th June, 7pm - 11pm will also showcase Ctrl.Alt.Shift’s short films.
