  • Opening hours: 09h00 - 16h00
  • Location:

Focus on sound comics created during UM artist residencies.
Several locations (see program).

In 2020, while university life is disrupted by the health crisis, comic book author and illustrator Emilie Plateau and visual artist Ganaëlle Maury are hosted by the University of Montpellier as part of an artistic residency on the theme of "Campus life in 2020".

From their encounters and their sensitive, attentive and sometimes amused glances, was born the sound comic "On verra, la vie des campus en 2020", a hybrid work between drawings, sounds and photographs that was published in December 2021.

Comic book title:

"We'll see..."

A phrase that reflects the singular, suspended time the university community faced from March 2020 to spring 2021.

"We'll see...", an intriguing sentence, which calls out to us and leads us to open this audio comic book, to read and listen to.
