The Pictoplasma Berlin 2025 Conference, marking its 21st edition, is scheduled to take place from May 1–4 at Silent Green, a repurposed cultural venue in Berlin. Renowned as a leading festival for contemporary character design and art, the event brings together international creators from various visual disciplines—including illustration, animation, game design, and fine arts—for a comprehensive exploration of character creation in the modern era.
The conference features a diverse program comprising artist talks, panel discussions, workshops, and animation screenings. Notable speakers include Angela Kirkwood, Murugiah, and Master Tingus, among others. Attendees can participate in hands-on sessions like the Character Lab, engage in networking events, and explore exhibitions such as the “Character Matters” gallery, which showcases character-driven public service announcements. For those unable to attend in person, the conference offers online tickets providing live-stream access and on-demand content.
