Comics from Africa 來(lái)自非洲的漫畫(huà)
有關(guān) “new creativity(新鮮創(chuàng)意)” 的詞匯
At the Lagos Comic Convention, what can be done as well as just buying books?
Meet Dayo - a valiant warrior and an African superhero. He's the main character in a comic book called Trials of the Spear. Mixing tribal traditions with so-called Afro Futurism – it’s part of a movement to put African comics on the map.
來(lái)認(rèn)識(shí)一下戴奧 —— 一名英勇的戰(zhàn)士和一位非洲的超級(jí)英雄。他是漫畫(huà)書(shū)《矛的試煉》(Trials of the Spear)中的主角。漫畫(huà)將部落傳統(tǒng)和所謂的非洲未來(lái)主義相結(jié)合,這是將非洲漫畫(huà)推向世界的部分舉措。
The company behind it is called Comic Republic, based in Lagos. They produce books and animation. Their mission - to create African heroes and icons.
這部作品背后的公司名為漫畫(huà)共和國(guó)(Comic Republic),總部設(shè)在拉各斯。他們制作書(shū)籍和動(dòng)畫(huà)。他們的使命是創(chuàng)造非洲的英雄角色和偶像。
Jide Martin, Founder and Chief Executive of Comic Republic
We are telling an international story about people who are ready, who are there and have the capacity to do good… we are big on diversity and we are doing it from the African perspective, Nigeria to be particular.
吉德·馬丁 漫畫(huà)共和國(guó)(Comic Republic)創(chuàng)始人兼總裁
“我們講述的是一個(gè)超越國(guó)界的故事,講的是那些已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好、有能力做好事的人。我們非常重視多樣性,而且我們是從非洲的角度來(lái)表現(xiàn)它的,尤其是尼日利亞。”
This is the Lagos Comic Convention, a chance for superhero fans to come together. But it's not just about buying books - it’s about creating them too.
這是拉各斯動(dòng)漫展覽會(huì),一個(gè)超級(jí)英雄迷們匯聚一堂的機(jī)會(huì)。但參加這個(gè)展會(huì)不僅僅是為了買(mǎi)書(shū),也是為了創(chuàng)作漫畫(huà)書(shū)。
Ayodele Elegba, Founder of Lagos Comic Con
It’s awesome. It’s a big one. It’s a big deal. You know, so Lagos Comic Con has been able to discover new talents. People that come to Lagos Comic Con see what’s possible and then they go back and start their company. The entrepreneurship mindset just kicks in and they want to start something of their own.
阿尤迪利·伊里巴 拉各斯動(dòng)漫展覽會(huì)創(chuàng)始人
“這個(gè)活動(dòng)很棒。它的規(guī)模很大。這是件大事。拉各斯動(dòng)漫展一直以來(lái)能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)新的人才。來(lái)到拉各斯動(dòng)漫展的人們看到什么是可能的,然后回去創(chuàng)辦自己的公司。他們富有創(chuàng)業(yè)精神的思維模式顯現(xiàn)了出來(lái),想要開(kāi)創(chuàng)自己的事業(yè)?!?/p>
It seems comic books are booming. Not just in Nigeria, but all across the continent: a medium seen as quintessentially American being reborn in Africa.
漫畫(huà)書(shū)產(chǎn)業(yè)似乎正在蓬勃發(fā)展。不僅僅是在尼日利亞,而是在整個(gè)非洲大陸:一個(gè)被視為最典型的美國(guó)媒介正在非洲重生。
