Charbak Dipta
Graphic novelist
Inspired by Franco-Belgian legends like Moebius and Uderzo, attending the prestigious Angoulême Comic Fest will be a profound milestone for me. As an Indian graphic novelist, I am eager to explore current Bande dessinée trends, connect with publishers, and foster cultural exchange at the comic fest. At the residency, I look forward to collaborating with artists from other cultures, absorbing diverse perspectives, and integrating these new horizons into my own work while contributing my expertise to the contemporary French as well as European comic scene.
