From the organizer:
The Goethe Institute, the French Institute and Nha Nam Culture and Media Company co-organize the launch of the graphic novel “A Trip of Youth”.
“A Trip of Youth” is a collection of stories composed by 12 young artists from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, under the guidance of experienced artists from France and Germany, Nicolas Sauge and Robert Deutsch. The collection was created as part of a comics workshop in 2022, which contributed to a greater awareness of the graphic novel genre in Vietnam.
This was initiated by the French Institute and the Goethe-Institut in Vietnam, with support from the Franco-German Cultural Fund, the UNESCO Delegation to Vietnam, and the French Embassy in Hanoi. The project is accompanied by Nha Nam.
