Can a cartoon become a tool for researching the state of a city? And can the way in which the city is depicted be a vehicle for a transformation of urban space? The project The Animated City, aimed at elementary schools in the city of Settimo Torinese, is the opportunity to reflect on the relationship between urban space and representation.

The talk will be in Italian.

To reflect on the ways in which contemporary comics represent spaces, it may be useful to look backward. Manuele Fior and Sammy Stein, for whom architecture is a core element of  drawing, retrace the history of the comics language to understand what has changed in space and in the way we draw it.

Incontro in italiano e francese, con traduzione consecutiva.

Exhibition opening with Sammy Stein and Manuele Fior.
