Curated by the Palazzo delle Esposizioni’s Art Workshop

In partnership with the publisher Corraini Edizioni and with the Korean Cultural Institute
 

A truly special day in the company of the great Korean artist Suzy Lee.

An opportunity for the young and the less young alike to discover the way an illustrated album works and to be captivated by story-telling in images.
