22. Pictoplasma Conference

Pictoplasma investigates the art and impact of adventurous figurative representation across creative genres and cultures. The curatorial organisation connects pioneering creatives and industries across illustration, animation, arts, design, gaming and emerging media. In its 22nd edition, the Pictoplasma Conference sets its focus on storytelling: How can characters act as narrative devices that shape emotion, identity, and meaning – beyond affect, empathy, or cuteness?
