To mark the school's 60th anniversary, GOBELINS Alumni is organizing an exhibition and round table dedicated to women in comics.
Today, women illustrators represent only 12% of published illustrators. This event is part of GOBELINS Paris' commitment to promoting female talent in the creative and cultural industries, and to combating gender inequality and discrimination.
The panel will be accompanied by a exhibition of the illustrators' work, running throughout the month of March, in the gallery on the Saint Marcel campus.
Our four guests will be sharing their experience and advice (how to find a publishing house, how to get known....) andanswering your questions.
The panel will take place on Thursday March 27 at 6:30pm on the Saint-Marcel campus.

Diane Truc, you'll find her holed up in an animation studio, charcoal-burning on a signing table or rolling around in a wrestling ring, her great passion.
