Close the Gap: Illustrator Cécile Cuny on Ending the Gender Digital Divide
The Brussels-based artist has partnered with Evoca Foundation and Giga to champion digital access for girls everywhere.
For Cécile Cuny, magic has always lived in the overlooked. The way a personified object suddenly gains personality is intriguing. The sense of independence radiates from a girl discovering her own power.
These are the building blocks of her visual world, and they're also the foundation of her animation project: Close the Gap, a short film released to mark International Day of the Girl earlier this month.
Co-produced with the Evoca Foundation, which focuses on education, climate action and supporting women and girls, and Giga, an initiative to connect every school to the internet, the film addresses the gender digital divide.
The comfort found in something that consoles rather than demands is invaluable.
