Workshop
How can we design a monument without knowing where it will be placed?
How can we imagine its history without visiting it?
How can we make a comic book without deciding in advance how to draw it?
This is the challenge set by artist and cartoonist Sammy Stein in the five-day intensive workshop he designed for A occhi aperti.
The workshop involves a group of artists of different backgrounds, styles and skills, according to the core philosophy of A occhi aperti': drawing is as a process, not a result.
Students of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, which on this occasion begins the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of its BA in Comics and Illustration, will work side by side with cultural operators of Centro di Documentazione Handicap - Cooperativa Accaparlante, an association providing cultural and social services to people with disabilities.
Through simple drawing exercises and a fast-paced rhythm, Stein invites them to question what it means to inhabit an imaginary space, inventing its history and future.
The comics created during the workshop wille be displayed at Titivil.
