Born in Marseille but moving to London more than a decade ago, Lucie has been published in both countries, and writes, draws and colours for the comics series Enola Holmes – now in 15 languages.

Malak Mattar

Born in Gaza in 1999, Malak Mattar started painting at 14 and went on to study Fine Art at Central Saint Martin’s London. She is best known for her monumental painting No Words and as the creator of Sitti’s Bird, A Gaza Story, a children’s book based on her own life.

Malak was to be our guest last year, but visa issues meant she could only join us by video. Now she takes up an artist residency at Áras Éanna on the island of Inis Oírr.
