Inspired by an African tale told by artist Stanley Wany, this workshop invites kids to illustrate the characters and vivid scenes of a lush natural world. Using coloured pencils, graphite and markers, they’ll imagine mythical heroes and creatures.
Stanley Wany is a multidisciplinary artist whose work involves revisiting colonial and historical archives with the aim of unearthing the history of his Afrodescendant ancestors. He began his exploration as an editor and creator of experimental graphic novels that explore the non-linearity of narrative and the unconscious. After a residency in Finland, he made the leap into the visual arts, continuing his research by incorporating the historicity of narratives present in popular culture. Through drawing, painting, installation and experimental graphic novels, he deepens his reflections on popular culture, myths and the subconscious in relation to the experience of Afro-descendants in Western society.
