Join us for an evening of independent comics from local and guest interstate cartoonists on Friday 21 August!

“Comics Aloud!” aims to showcase the fantastic talents of current Australian cartoonists and comic makers, with a special focus on independent artists local to Brisbane.

We’re making comic reading a spectator event by inviting some of our favourite local creators to display and read a selection of their short stories to a live audience.

Expect to experience graphic storytelling from across a wide range of genres, from autobio to politics, fact to fiction, the stories on show will be as varied as the wide world of comics, cartoons, and their creators.

We’ll be announcing some surprise guests and local creators in the run up to the event, so stay tuned to our social page for updates.

Join us for this special night of comics on the eve of Brisbane’s biggest and longest running comic event Comic Street taking place at The Edge on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August, and meet the creators and cartoonists behind the panels.

MUHARREM ASLAN — SOUNDS OF ANATOLIA


Live in Brisbane

Experience an intimate solo performance by Muharrem Aslan, where the bağlama unfolds layered melodies, modal colour, intricate rhythms and contemporary sonic exploration rooted in Anatolian tradition.

Aslan presents a program blending original compositions with contemporary interpretations, exploring the evolving language of the bağlama and its distinctive microtonal expression.

The concert will also feature music from Aslan’s new album, 10 Songs. 10 Rhythms. 1 Journey., with its official release on 30 October. The album explores ten original compositions through ten distinct rhythmic structures, with selected works from the album featured as part of the evening’s program.

Central to Aslan’s musical approach is fourtemolo, a technique he developed that enables two independent melodic lines to be performed simultaneously on the bağlama, expanding the instrument’s sonic range and musical vocabulary.

Sounds of Anatolia presents tradition not as a fixed form, but as a living and evolving musical language—one that carries memory while opening pathways to new artistic possibilities.
