The LUSTR illustration and comics festival runs from September 25 to September 30, taking place at Prague's Holešovice Market. This annual event, in its 13th edition, brings together more than a hundred Czech and international artists, with a focus on contemporary landscapes in the age of the Anthropocene, exploring themes from mechanized cities to imagined future landscapes.

Visitors can engage with a variety of activities including exhibitions, talks, and workshops. A key feature is the Showcase, an exhibition curated from nearly 800 international open call submissions, featuring both leading international artists and emerging talents. Workshops offer hands-on experiences with techniques like Risograph printing and stencil painting, with dedicated sessions available for children. Additionally, each year LUSTR highlights the illustration scene from a different country, with Portugal being the focus this year, presenting five contemporary Portuguese illustrators.
