Award-winning TokTok magazine celebrates first anniversary

TokTok magazine celebrates its first anniversary on 20 January with the launch of its fifth edition and an event at The Factory Space in downtown Cairo. The event will also include the Egypt's launch of 9th Art Monthly journal on comics.

The magazine was established by a number of art school graduates and professional cartoonists at Egyptian newspapers, including El-Shennawy, Hesham Rahma, Tawfik and Andil. The event will be held at The Factory Space located in 10 Nabrawy Street off Champollion Street, in downtown Cairo.
