Join Virginie Broquet’s artist sharing!

This talented French illustrator, painter and artist will share with you her passion for comics, arts and fashion and tell you more about her last graphical novel “Suzy Wong and the Spirits”.

Alliance Française Hong Kong

Virginie Broquet is a French artist who writes and draws comic books and travel sketchbooks. She also works for the press, as well as for the advertising and fashion industries. She has been awarded a prize at the prestigious Angoulême festival, the second-largest comics festival in the world.

“Suzy Wong and the Spirits” is a graphic novel for adults dedicated with love to some of Asia’s most fascinating cities. It is a fusion between an artist’s very personal travel sketchbook and a comic book. Giving free reign to her imagination, it is the author’s hope that the work is still firmly grounded in the sensibility of real life.

The talk will be followed by a signing session.

In English and French.

Free admission.

Adult public only.
