Residency artists and researchers Comic art Marcos Farrajota Cartoonist and curator Marcos Farrajota (1973, Lisboa) works in Bedeteca de Lisboa – the Comics Library of Lisbon – as curator, teacher, editor and librarian, since 2000. He’s also a comics author with seven books out, three as complete autobiographical author, other four as fiction writer with João Fazenda and Pepedelrey art. Founder of “Mesinha de Cabeceira” zine (1992), Chili Com Carne group (1995) and MMMNNNRRRG label (2000) where publishes fringe comix, illustration, literature, music, art brut and essays from other Portuguese or foreigner authors – from Finland there’s Tommi Musturi (comix) and Pentti Linkola (essay). In the Saari Residence I’m trying to make a graphic novel, mix of autobiography and essay, about consumerism, collectors and archives. Still looking for the best point of view to do it as for text and graphics.
