Schwanger mit 17 – An exhibition by Wanda Dufner

Artist: Wanda Dufner

As part of the Fumetto Comic Festival, Wanda Dufner presents an exhibition centred around her graphic novel Bauchlandung, published by Edition Moderne. The story explores the challenges of teenage pregnancy, examining themes of identity, autonomy, and societal expectations. Wanda creates a deeply personal yet universally resonant narrative through expressive and bold visual storytelling.

"Using a teenage pregnancy, Wanda Dufner vividly illustrates how girls are denied their own body image, their sexual integrity and their self-determination at a young age. A brilliant debut about the objectification of bodies read as female and a must-have for contemporary sex education classes."
— Marah Rikli, journalist and activist

Wanda’s artistic style is expressive, colourful, and raw, seamlessly blending poetic and analytical elements. Her illustrations employ various techniques, ranging from hand-drawn artwork to digital and mixed media, allowing for a dynamic and layered visual experience. Strong contrasts and bold compositions are her storytelling tools, reinforcing the emotional intensity of her subjects.

The exhibition will primarily focus on Bauchlandung, featuring original illustrations from the book alongside a selection of Wanda’s independent works. Additionally, the show will include:

  • Zines – self-published works that expand on her storytelling themes
  • Larger paintings – exploring similar visual and thematic motifs
  • Prints and clothing – from Wanda’s collection showcasing her use of vibrant colours and unique artistic voice
