In Buenos Aires, a city that once narrated itself through ink and panel, the first International Comic Art Biennial opens as both homecoming and aspiration. From March 19 to 22, the Argentine capital gathers around José Muñoz — its most celebrated cartoonist, now 83 — to honor a tradition called the historieta that shaped how the city understood itself. The event is free, public, and deliberate: a recognition that popular art forms carry the weight of collective memory, and that what has been diminished can, with care, be restored.
