For our next online Nicer Tuesdays (we’re hoping to return to London’s Oval Space in March) we have in store two talks from two brilliant creatives: French illustrator Aurélia Durand and American director and artist Pablo Rochat. Joining us from Paris and Atlanta respectively, the pair will discuss recent and ongoing projects, their sources of inspiration, and the values they champion through their work. The talks will take place on 22 February and begin as normal at 6pm GMT.
We will kick things off with a 10-minute talk from Aurélia, who will be touching on the driving forces behind her practice, including the strong desire for more inclusive and diverse representation within illustration. She will also be discussing her varied creative output, from bestselling books and editorial pieces to puzzles and posters, as well as her commissioned work for big names such as Adidas, Adobe, Apple and The New York Times, among others. This will be followed by a Q&A with Pablo, hosted by our editor-in-chief Matt Alagiah, who will be delving into his plethora of projects (and what inspires them), his trademark humour, and his high profile collaborations with artists and brands such as Drake, Balenciaga and Nike, to name but a few.
