Transforming Archaeology into Comics

Participants will explore the step-by-step process of creating a comic—from inspiration to character development and scriptwriting.
How can an archaeological exhibition serve as the starting point for a comic? How do artifacts and their stories transform into narrative heroes?
What storytelling tools are used, and how can such a story become engaging?

Taking as a starting point the comic “Kykladitisses: Untold Stories of Three Girls from the Cyclades” and the artifacts from the corresponding temporary exhibition at the Museum of Cycladic Art, participants will experiment with storytelling techniques and create their own short comic story.

Join us on a journey of storytelling and creativity!

Over 180 masterpieces, most of which have never travelled outside the Cyclades, while others are being presented to the public for the first time, reveal the fascinating world of the women of the Cyclades, who emerge from obscurity and tell us their unknown stories.

Works of unique artistic value portray the Cycladic woman as a goddess, priestess, worshipper, mother, wife, merchant, fighter, intellectual, and sometimes as an image of fear, as a victim of gender violence or as an object of desire.
