Something to inspire your children's creativity... As part of the Brazil-France 2025 Season, the Médiathèque Violette Leduc, nestled in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, is opening its doors to a family activity where creativity and intercultural discovery intermingle. The date is set for Saturday, May 24, 2025, from 4pm to 6pm, in a friendly atmosphere conducive to exchange and learning.
With scissors in hand and colored paper spread out on the tables, children will be invited to embark on a cutting and collage workshop like no other, guided by Magali Attiogbé, renowned illustrator and author of the highly aesthetic Imagier d'Amérique latine. This accordion book, published by Amaterra, is much more than just a children's book: it's a playful gateway to the many cultures, landscapes and symbols of Latin America.
What if your children could design their own little imagier, inspired by those of the great visual explorers? During this workshop, each participant will leave with a unique creation, reflecting his or her imagination and the cultural elements discussed. Magali Attiogbé will share her illustration and graphic composition techniques, while passing on anecdotes about the countries, traditions and symbols that populate her work.
It's a great opportunity to introduce youngsters to the art of the illustrated book, while allowing them to travel without leaving Paris. The link between text, image and culture takes on its full meaning here, in a setting where artistic freedom of expression is encouraged. Accessible from an early age, the workshop is designed for curious children, families looking for an educational outing, or children's book enthusiasts looking for a sensitive, participatory experience.
Designed as a moment of relaxation, shared creation and discovery, this workshop is also a way of celebrating the cultural links between France and Brazil. Whether you're a fan of children's literature, graphic design or simply looking for some quality family time, this event promises a warm and colorful afternoon.
The event is free, but places are limited. Registration opened on April 24, 2025. Don't delay: workshops with talented authors such as Magali Attiogbé quickly attract their audiences. Ready to draw your scissors?
