My story
Crapulerie: Berlin’s Comic Art Unleashed
Sevin is a Swiss-Kurdish artist and Workshop Facilitator based in Berlin, dedicated to making art accessible to everyone.
Born in Geneva in 1984, Sevin was always passionate about drawing. She copied all the Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, Peanuts comics over and over. With time, she found her own style and could not stop creating funny characters.
In 2015, she co-founded the NGO « Pass the Crayon » in Berlin where she designed hundreds of workshops for refugee children. Her goal was to bring a moment of fun and self-expression to kids who were in a difficult situation. For 7 years, she was the Director of Operations and never forgot about her passion: making art.
She was never in the norm, especially as a fat queer Kurdish artist who grew up in Switzerland. Moving to Berlin in 2009 was what unleashed her self-expression. She dared to be herself more than ever!
Today, she is a parent, a teacher, an artist who will never stop learning and sharing.
