The comics below were created at the Joensuu district multicultural association’s comics workshop. The association’s intention is to promote multicultural diversity and to prevent immigrants from being discriminated against and isolated. The workshop participants came from Iraq, Syria and Finland.
Alla olevat sarjakuvat syntyivät Joensuun seudun monikulttuurisuusyhdistyksen sarjakuvatyöpajassa. JoMoni toimii rasismia vastaan ja valvoo maahanmuuttajien etuja. Piirtäjät tulivat Irakista, Syyriasta ja Suomesta.
GO BACK AND FIGHT
1. I joined the army because I wanted to protect my country. 2. In civil war you can’t always tell your friend from your enemy. Shias. Sunnis. Kurds. Isis. 3. The corrupted government is taking advantage of you. 4. If I can’t protect my people, I don’t want to kill them.
1. People. We want freedom! 2. Extremists. No. No. 4. Criminals. Iran. Militias.
MY LIFE
1. Mosul 2014/6/12 2. Turkey 2015 3. Europe 2015/20/6 4. Finland. I want good life. I’m afraid, I’ve been waiting 5 years.
KIELIMUURI
1. Thumb! 2. Mitä sinä teet? Olen vihainen! 3. Miksi? Thumb! 4. Koska tuolla on tämä tyyppi kenelle haluan puhua. Mutta välissämme on kielimuuri!
THE SERCH FOR LIFE
1. War. 2. The bombed houses and dead children. 3. It’s dangerous to search for safety. 4. The access to a safe country.
