ON THE MARGINS
An event for illustrators at the ARTELEKU Centre: workshop on how to create a silent strip

An intensive workshop in which we will be learning and analysing the techniques used to create silent comic strips, i.e. those capable of telling a story using only illustrations. The aim here is use the workshop as a springboard for producing 8 silent strips related to the new types of exclusion that are currently emerging in our modern world.

We are living in a constantly changing world in which social and political ideas and general mindsets are rendered quickly out of date. It is a time of endless opportunity, yet at the same time, it is also a period in which new types of exclusion and marginalisation are cropping up every day.

Thus, taking social exclusion as their starting point, each participant in the workshop will be expected to create their own silent comic strip album (consisting of 14 double pages, 41 cm x 22 cm, title page, introduction, flyleaves, cover and back page).
