Live through a weekend dedicated to thought, debate, inspiration and reflection regarding the latest news about international illustration and its connections with art, markets, culture and the contemporary society.
Who is creating, how is creation being done, what sights of the world is illustration bringing to us, how is the work of an illustrator being read, what is its role in our environment, which are the new languages and formats and which are the artistic venues and the professional opportunities.
Conversations with the Authors, Interviews, Dialogs, Debates, Case Studies, Project Exhibitions, Coffees, Meetings, Prizes and Night Activities

Let’s make a journey through illustrated and not illustrated classics.
