Presentation of Dara: Award-winning artist Ralitsa Aleksieva of ECHO academies’ new comic on societal repression

On 19 September, Inter Alia participated in the presentation of Dara, a comic created by the talented Bulgarian artist Rally Bo. Rally was a winner of the ECHO Comic Academy in Athens and has since developed Dara as part of ECHO Academies. The discussion that followed explored the impact of comic art in raising awareness about politically sensitive topics, with a particular focus on LGBTQI+ rights in Bulgaria. Rally Bo’s Dara portrays the challenges faced by its protagonist while navigating life in Sofia, metaphorically addressing identity struggles and societal repression. Part of the proceeds from the comic book will be donated to the P.U.L.S. Foundation, which supports children survivors of domestic violence in Bulgaria.
