Joana is based in Lisbon, Portugal, and her graphic novels The Mongoose and Physical Education are published by Pow Pow (Montréal) in both English and French.

6:30 to 7:30 p.m. – Workshop
During this workshop, the participants will be challenged to write, draw, and build their own one-sheet-zine, with or without prior experience. The purpose is to have fun and have no fear to explore new ideas on the paper and beyond.
7:30 to 9:00 p.m. – Author Meet & Greet/Q&A
Meet Joana Mosi and learn more about her work during this conversation with fellow cartoonist Magnus Merklin. Copies of Joana’s books, in both English and French, will be available to purchase and get signed.
Guest
Joana Mosi is an award-winning visual artist and cartoonist based in Lisbon, Portugal. Born and raised close to the sea, Joana has a really hard time sitting still in one place for a long time (which is a problem when your job requires you to spend lots of time at a drawing table) so she ends up traveling a lot, participating in art residencies and comics festivals across the globe. While she’s planning her next artistic endeavour, she stays fresh by teaching (and learning from) new generations of creators. Her book The Mongoose won the Jorge Magalhães Award for Outstanding Story in 2024, and Physical Education was the first-ever graphic novel to be a National Illustration Award of Portugal Highlight Book.
