For the fourth year in a row, Užice (Serbia) hosted a comic book festival that brought together artists and publishers from across the Balkan region. I was honored to present my book Journey of a Troubled Mind (Hodočašće rastrojenog uma), six months after its release in Serbia. As Užice is my birthplace, this event held special meaning and made me feel especially proud.

Together with my editor, Goran Lakićević from Besna Kobila, I hosted a discussion not only about our collaboration, but also about the Jungian themes embedded in the book and his teachings on archetypes and their influence on our lives.

I sincerely hope this festival continues to grow, as it offers a unique and authentic window into the work of artists and publishers — an engaging narrative of what the graphic novel creation process truly looks like.
