Ka Schmitz, Comic-Zeichnerin, Grafikerin, Illustratorin und Wen-Do-Trainerin in Berlin sprach mit Rosa Reitsamer über ihre Comics, deren Verortung in einer queer-feministischen Community und die Schwierigkeit, Strichfiguren zu zeichnen, die nicht selbstverständlich als „Strichmännchen“ gelesen werden.

Ka, du zeichnest Comix, machst aber auch andere Dinge. Kannst du bitte ein wenig deine Tätigkeitsbereiche schildern?

Tea is a super creative activist from Ljubljana, Slovenia. She’s been involved in media projects for over a decade now — from zines and community radio, satirical newspapers and festivals, to blogs and freelance writing (not to mention her collaborative feminist sci-fi writing workshops.

Red caught up with her at the Civil Media Conference to hear about her influences, how feminist generations can get caught up in ‘queer’, and how writing can be a form of activism – despite what the anarchist boys might think.

Queer Grrrl Art Links

What: A zine, an art show based in Bellingham WA at the iGallery/Ground Floor in March 2010, and an ever-expanding directory of queer female artists.

Why: We need mentors! I have been searching the Internet to try to find queer female artists and come up short. We all need mentors and peers to bounce ideas off of and to enforce the notion that we do exist and we can succeed. We deserve representation!
