Encuentros con Autoras is the commitment made by the Fundación Cine+Cómics and the Cátedra Cultural Moebius de la Universidad de La Laguna to disseminate the work carried out by women in the field of comics and illustration. Given that it is a traditionally masculinized discipline, this project has had a great reception since its beginning in 2020, being included in the programming of high-profile events such as the Salón Internacional del Cómic y la Ilustración de Tenerife or the Congreso Internacional de la Fundación Cine+Cómics.

What was initially proposed as a formula to generate cultural content online during the pandemic has ended up becoming a benchmark within the comic sector, conducting interviews with local, national and international artists. Since 2020, the project has had the participation of 37 authors from all over the world and, in its current edition, it incorporates another ten who will talk about their career and experiences in a live broadcast on the official Facebook page of Santa Cruz Cómic.

As in previous editions, Meetings with Authors 2023 is completed with five traveling in-person exhibitions: Mararía, by Rafael Arozarena, in Lanzarote; The art of Sickyll, Women body to body and Illustrators & Ilustradas 3 in Tenerife; and Marvel Women on the island of La Graciosa. Of all these exhibitions, it is Ilustradoras & Ilustradas 3, curated by Camila Pomares, which has its own catalog where more than one hundred artists from all over the Canary Islands participate.

In addition to continuing to count on the collaboration of Santa Cruz Cómic, the Cabildo de Tenerife through its Tenerife Violeta program and the Librería del Maldito, Encuentros con Autoras 2023 is sponsored by Promotur, a public company of Gobierno de Canarias.
