PICTOPLASMA

CONFERENCE

In its 21st edition, Pictoplasma, the world’s leading festival and conference on contemporary character design and art returns to its origins, reinvents itself, and questions our common understanding of character representation in the era of generative image production and fading pictorial hegemonies. 

PICTOPLASMA
ACADEMY

Pictoplasma brings the experience, knowledge and expertise of its conferences to a new level of inspiration and intensity with a unique series of masterclasses and summer schools. Next course scheduled for May 2025.
