Anika Franke (1987)
Based in Germany and the Netherlands
My work spans a wide range of projects —
from illustrations, posters, logos, and books to visual research for analytical questions, as well as building, handcrafting, organizing, and managing projects. I enjoy collaborating on community spaces and events where culture
and human connection come first.
Creating my own narratives through text
and image is what I return to again and again.
My German-language graphic novel debut,
Ein Herz aus Senf, is now followed by the
Dutch-language De A van…, where drawing
and writing come together in a experimental literary way.
From 2012–2022, I taught at AKI / ArtEZ Enschede (Crossmedia Design). Since 2022
I teach at ArtEZ Zwolle (Illustration). I worked as
a museum educator at Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Städtischen Galerie Nordhorn and ran Visual Thinking workshops at the University of Twente.
