The event takes place in the frame of the Bremen Picture Book Dialogues. The format wants to bring people in front of and behind the books into conversation and provide insights into the work of artists and authors. The Bremen Picture Book Dialogues are a cooperation project between the University of Bremen and various Bremen cultural institutions such as the Bremen Theater, the Kunsthalle and the Stadtbibliothek.
The picture book artist and illustrator Tobias Krejtschi
Born in 1980 in Dresden, Tobias Krejtschi studied illustration in Hamburg. In 2001, he illustrated the book "Wie Hagen Siegfried feig erstach im Odenwald, bei Amorbach", and in 2004 he provided illustrations for the children's CD by Anne Thiel "Lula und das fliegende Bett." Tobias Krejtschi is the winner of the illustration competition announced by the Peter Hammer publishing house in 2006 on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. The picture book "Die schlaue Mama Sambona" (Text: Hermann Schulz), which emerged from the competition, was nominated for the German Youth Literature Prize 2008. During his upcoming visit to Bremen, he will deliver an overview of his previous projects under the title "From Idea to Picture Book".
