Nicolas Wild

Nicolas Wild studied in the renowned illustration workshop at the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs à Strasbourg. While he was working in Kabul in the field of public information and social communication, he related the everyday life of his Afghan company in the graphic novel "Kabul Disco" (La boîte à bulles). The discovery of the Persian world then led him to Iran: in 2013, he completed the album "Ainsi se tut Zarathoustra" (La boîte à bulles), a tale set in Iran amongst the Zoroastrian community and Afghan refugees in Tehran. Wild’s latest projects took him to a refugee camp in Nepal and to the city of Dubai, where his next comic reportage will be set.

Nicolas Wild will direct a two-week course from 3 to 15 August 2015.
