The current exhibition, a cooperation between Czech street art and comics artists Toy_Box and international humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, personify diseases and causes of deaths that impact billion and a half people worldwide. It highlights the impact of these diseases, their causes, and possible solutions.
Panels of the Artwall Gallery feature images of scary creatures and demons. At first glance, it seems as if they were illustrations of horror comic books or scenes from mythologies of distant cultures. The current exhibition is indeed related to far-off countries, but unfortunately, the characters are based on reality not fiction. The images by a Czech street art and comics artists Toy_Box personify diseases and causes of deaths: black fever – kala azar, Chagas disease, sleeping sickness, tuberculosis and snake bites. The exhibition, organized together with the international humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, highlights the impact of these diseases, their causes, and possible solutions.
