Ilustrazo! is the first illustration festival in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. It was held on December 5, 6 and 7 at the Centro Cultural España Córdoba and its objective was to make visible, professionalize and link local illustrators with the creative cultural industries.
There were 4 simultaneous activities, national and international illustrators, local publishers, entrepreneurs, emerging talents, local associations, educational institutions and international links. We invited everyone we could to put illustration at the center of the conversation.
This project was created within the framework of the "Futura 4: Tools for a culture in movement" program created by the CCEBA and the Williams Foundation, and coordinated by Juan Urraco.
SOCIAL NETWORKS
For the network campaign, I made illustrations of the most iconic spaces in the city at sunset. The branding was done by Aguantadero de Ideas, a local communication studio.

We also had the participation of APA Cba (Association of Animation Producers of Cordoba) and WIGAr (Womens in Games Argentina) who provided us with material of their animation and video game projects for an audiovisual exhibition at the festival.
We also had international material provided by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura. The exhibition “Fumetti nei Musei” is a project conceived by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism for educational activities in state museums.
PUBLISHERS AND ENTREPRENEURS FAIR
We opened a call for publishers and entrepreneurs nationwide to participate in the Fair during the festival. The selection criterion was that illustration should be an essential part of the proposal.

TEAM
To carry out such a task, we gathered a group of illustrators, animators, producers and artists. It was a luxury to share space, time, ideas and energy with these people.
