Presentation: The Witch of London – a fictional biography by Nina Six
12 November 2025
Nina Six, comic book author and illustrator, has conducted extensive research on the English novelist Stella Benson (1892-1933) to create a unique graphic novel that retraces Benson’s work and life in 1918. Between fiction and historical background, ‘La Sorcière de Londres‘ (‘The Witch of London’) offers a story with acidulous colours about a pioneering author of feminism and fantasy. At this event, Nina will be discussing how to create fictional narratives based on historical and biographical archives. The event has been organised by Intermediality and the Centre de Recherches Francophones Belges. Find more information about this event and Nina Six’s work here.

Symposium: The Intermedial City (La Ville Intermédiale)
September 4-5, 2025 | Aix-en-Provence, France
As part of the research partnership in intermedial studies between Aix-Marseille University and the University of Edinburgh, this symposium brings together researchers, doctoral students, and artists to strengthen scientific exchanges and give new impetus to research in intermediality. By focusing on the links between intermediality and the city, this event aims to explore how the mixing of media forms leads to a multimodal and relational reading of the urban space.
