Join French authors Cyril Liéron and Benoit Dahan for an engaging Q&A session! They will reflect on their careers, creative processes and draw in real time. Benoit's love for Sherlock Holmes, shared with his longtime friend Cyril Liéron, naturally led to their collaboration on Dans la tête de Sherlock Holmes, which won the BDGEST'Arts 2019 award for Best Cover Art.

Date: Tuesday, 1st October

Time: 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm
