Bridge Comics is a new series of comic-making workshops for multilingual children and families across Brighton.
Led by comic artist Bruna Martini with language educator Claudia Ambrosino, the workshops bring together comics, languages and cultures, inviting children to create multilingual stories inspired by Brighton.
We’re seeking funding to launch the series in 2027 and bring families together through art, language and storytelling, building a multicultural creative network that fosters belonging, collaboration and connection to our city.
