Titus Ackermann has won several prices for his work, including the Max and Moritz Award for the MOGA MOBO book "The 100 Masterpieces of World Literature". His work has been shown at several solo and group exhibitions, such as "100 Best Posters", Bologna Children's Book Fair and the Mori Museum Tokyo. He curates exhibitions (recently "Ukraine - Comix from the Warzone") and teaches regularly at HTW Berlin, AiD Berlin and gives workshops at home and abroad as part of the Goethe Institute or ASEF.
