Workshop: Storytelling
Paula Boffo (@sukermercado) works as an animator and comic artist.

She has participated in various national and international comic spaces (Fierro, Sextories, Vamos Las Pibas, Telecomics, Línea Peluda). She is the author of the award-winning comics “La sombra del Altiplano” and “Si mojás me enciendo”. She won international mentorship competitions in direction at Annecy, Ventana Sur, and Women in Animation. She directed the short video “Santa sombra” (2022 – INCAA). In 2022, she published the graphic novels “Santa sombra” as a sole creator and “El viaje real” with Carolina Unrein as the writer.
