Tegneserieskaber og forfatter Karoline Stjernfelt fortæller om arbejdet med tegneserien “I morgen bliver bedre"
Karoline Stjernfelt vil holde et oplæg om sit arbejde med “I morgen bliver bedre”, den historiske tegneserietrilogi om Christian VII, Dronning Caroline Mathilde og Struensee. Serien har fået stor anerkendelse og har blandt andet vundet Kulturministeriets Illustratorpris.
Stjernfelt fortæller om arbejdet med at formidle og fortolke det historiske drama i tegneserieform, brugen af visuelle virkemidler til at iscenesætte 1700-tallets politik og intriger, og hvordan man skaber karakterer baseret på mennesker, hvis død ligger 250 år tilbage – så de føles levende og nærværende på siderne og for læseren.

Alle VAF Sessions foregår på engelsk og henvender sig til talenter og studerende inden for film, spil og animation.
ENGLISH
Karoline Stjernfelt will give a presentation about her work on “I morgen bliver bedre" (Tomorrow will be better”), the historical comic trilogy about Christian VII, Queen Caroline Mathilde and Struensee. The series has received critical acclaim and has won the Danish Ministry of Culture’s Illustrator Prize, among other awards.
Stjernfelt talks about the work of telling and interpreting the historical drama in the comic, the use of visual aids to stage 18th-century politics and intrigue, and how to create characters based on people whose deaths date back 250 years – so that they feel alive and present on the page and to the reader.
