TAASCE is the UK Animated Shorts and Comics from Africa Festival. It is a vibrant trans-cultural event dedicated to celebrating and elevating creative expressions through both animation and comic arts for both African and non-African audiences.
We believe these combination of animation and comics can inspire, educate and bring people together like no other medium, so whether you’re a long-time fan of comic art or have never picked up a graphic novel before, maybe you consider animation as not something for your interest, the promise here is that you’ll find something for you.
