Born to be Wild (2023)
‘Born to be Wild’ has been curated by Wild North Arts Inc for the City of Darwin’s Lightbox Exhibitions program (previously called CITYLIFE Platform) and includes a range of art works from local comic art creatives including emerging, mid-career and established artists. This is the first time that the Lightbox Exhibitions program has featured a series dedicated to the comic design genre.
The chosen theme behind ‘Born to be Wild’ delves into both recognisable and wild aspects of living in the top end, as well as other ideas linked to sci-fi realms, mythological creatures, and natural surroundings.
Wild North Arts Inc have selected works that incorporate the theme driven by the selected comic-based artists, many of whom have previously or are yet to feature in their Wild North Comic printed publications.
