Drawing Africa: A Conversation with Marguerite Abouet and Sylvain Savoia
The Department of French Studies and Modern Languages and the AUP Library invite you to a special event featuring two leading voices in contemporary Francophone bandes dessinées. Franco-Ivorian writer Marguerite Abouet, author of the acclaimed series "Aya of Yopougon" and "Akissi," will be joined by French illustrator Sylvain Savoia, known for "The Forgotten Slaves of Tromelin" and for his graphic adaptation of Gaël Faye’s best-selling novel "Small Country" (created in collaboration with Marzena Sowa). Together, they will share their perspectives on creating graphic narratives inspired by Africa and African (hi)stories.
Le département d’études françaises et de langues modernes et la Bibliothèque d’AUP vous invitent à une rencontre exceptionnelle avec deux figures incontournables de la bande dessinée francophone contemporaine. La scénariste franco-ivoirienne Marguerite Abouet, autrice des séries "Aya de Yopougon" et "Akissi", et le dessinateur français Sylvain Savoia, auteur de "Les esclaves oubliés de Tromelin" et de l’adaptation graphique du best-seller "Petit Pays" de Gaël Faye (réalisée avec Marzena Sowa), échangeront autour de leurs œuvres inspirées de l’Afrique et de récits africains.
