From November 10, 2025 to January 10, 2026, Biblioteca Salaborsa hosts the works of Nicole Claveloux.
When Adults Turn Their Backs. The Childhood of Nicole Claveloux is an exhibition dedicated to picture books and illustrated books for children—some never published in Italy—by Nicole Claveloux, a multifaceted author and leading figure in the French comics and illustration scene of the 1970s, a visionary creator of worlds and imaginaries.
The exhibition is curated by Hamelin as part of A occhi aperti, an international comics and illustration festival.
Guided tours are available for primary school classes, led by students from the Art Education course at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna.
