Dotterbolaget Comics Collective

Dotterbolaget is a feminist comics collective which was started in Malmö in Spring 2005. Here's two of their zines: Chicks Eat Comics and Vald.

Statement:

In recent years, women have in increasing numbers become visible as comic creators on the Swedish comics scene; Dotterbolaget is part of this positive development. Despite this, however, the comic scene is still characterised by patriarchal structures. A majority of publishers, editors, critics and teachers on comic courses are still men. This has consequences for both male and female comic writers. Dotterbolaget is a social arena for female comic writers, as well as a professional network where the members, instead of competing for jobs, cooperate and support each other. The group also publishes a zine and participates in exhibitions and arranging workshops in comic drawing.
