Exhibition “Chris Ware. Drawing is thinking”

From 3 April to 9 November 2025, Barcelona hosts the exhibition “Chris Ware. Drawing is thinking”, dedicated to one of the leading authors of modern comics. Curated by Jordi Costa, the exhibition traces artist Chris Ware’s career, from his first notebooks to more iconic works such as Jimmy Corrigan and Building Stories; his works explore themes such as human emotion, racism and consumerism.

The “Chris Ware” exhibition includes original pieces, animations, sculptures and objects that stood out in his creative process, influenced by ragtime, architecture and the origins of comics. It also offers a collaborative space inspired by Building Stories, where the public can take part in a collective comic strip, guided by the La Gossa comics school and local artists.

The exhibition is presented at Barcelona’s Centre de Cultura Contemporània (CCCB). Entry costs an affordable €6 for everyone. A unique opportunity to learn about and enjoy Ware’s universe, where drawing is above all a form of thought.
