CURSO CLIPE JOVEM: HQs autobiográficas

Led by Carol Ito, this special edition of CLIPE Jovem (Curso Livre de Preparação de Escritores) welcomes writers aged 13 to 18 exploring creative expression. Titled "Minha vida daria um quadrinho: HQs autobiográficas," the program invites participants to develop autobiographical comics from personal memories, daily experiences, and reflections. The course covers graphic narrative fundamentals including script, pacing, framing, and text-image relationships. Drawing skills are not required; comics serve as a tool for storytelling and creation, bridging individual and shared experiences. Five (5) places are reserved for Black, Indigenous, transgender participants, and those with disabilities, allocated by registration order to eligible applicants. Free. 08/08 to 29/08, 14h–16h. Registration opens 25 June. Carol Ito authored "Boy Dodói" (Bebel Books, co-authored), "Inteiro Pesa Mais que Metade" (nVersos), and "Siriricas Tristes" (Veneta). A cartoonist and journalist, she has contributed to piauí magazine, Agência Pública, and UOL, and writes the weekly column "O Novo Anormal" for TPM. In 2022, she received the Prêmio Vladimir Herzog for the graphic reportage "Três Mulheres da Craco" published by piauí. She became the first woman to draw live caricatures on TV Cultura's "Roda Vida" program in 2023.
