In its 22nd edition, Pictoplasma, the world’s leading conference on contemporary character-driven creativity sets its focus on story: How can characters act as narrative devices that shape emotion, identity, and meaning – beyond affect, empathy, or cuteness?
Over four bustling days, Pictoplasma investigates the art and impact of adventurous figurative representation across creative genres and cultures.
The conference welcomes artists and producers to a transdisciplinary exchange of strategies and ideas, bridging illustration, animation, art, games, story-telling, branded worlds, and social media personas – opening its stage to every practice that gives characters agency.
