We are launching 2023 public activities with a new undertaking in our much loved Amorpha Academy space in the centre of Varna. Following a series of breath-takingly enjoyable while orgaisationally demanding cultural events in Varna, Sofia and the village of Nikolaevka planned and implemented at the end of 2022 by young academy trainees, we remain strongly dedicated to keeping our newly created space for culture and training. To broaden our scope, we have invited a long-term collaborator of the foundation and local independent media creator, journalist and book author Elena Vladova.
THE COMICS ATELIER provides training in comics plot development, creative content writing, visual structure and textual components in small groups of 6 participants. If you enjoy writing, drawing or both, if you’re a comics fan, the atelier experience will be the best creative formula for your free time!
SIGN UP BY 27 January!
