Pictoplasma

Pictoplasma is a conference and festival exploring contemporary character design and the creativity around it, spanning illustration, animation, graphic and urban arts, gaming and emerging media.

Its programme brings together artists, filmmakers and designers for lectures, animation screenings, workshops and exhibitions.

The main edition is held in Berlin, where Pictoplasma originated, with a further conference staged in New York City, and talks are also broadcast online.

Alongside its events, Pictoplasma runs an academy, a publishing arm and a global community network for character creators.
