PICTOPLASMA x CPH is an electrifying festival and conference at the crossroads of contemporary art, design, illustration, and animation. It’s a celebration of visual storytelling, where imagination takes center stage, and characters come to life!
PICTOPLASMA x CPH aims to create a hub for Scandinavian artists, designers, and animators to showcase their work, share ideas and build a community around their passion. More than an event, it’s a playground for creativity. From illustration to animation, game design to interactive experiences, and urban to graphic arts, we encourage interdisciplinary conversations to push the boundaries and shape the future of character-driven storytelling.
PICTOPLASMA x CPH is organized by Maïlys Mï with the support of PICTOPLASMA.
