Workshop with MAWIL - Part of the "Comics, Manga & Co. – Germany's New Comic Culture" exhibit February 11, 2012

The exhibition „Comics, Manga & Co. – Germany's New Comic Culture" features the works of two generations of artists, who have transformed the German graphic novel-scene in the last couple of years. Works of MAWIL, Isabel Kreitz, Arne Bellstorf and Martin Tom Diek and many more will be displayed.

The artist MAWIL will host a workshop where participants will learn how to animate objects and characters. With a hands-on approach the artist will establish certain rules of drawing which allow participants to tell their own stories in a creative and vivid way.

The maximum number of participants is 15. Please register with [email protected] by February 5st.
