Draw
who you are.
Mayakis is a manga and identity-personalization studio: a space where artistic expression becomes a tool for cultural mediation and creative empowerment, especially for young people.
The concept
A studio where manga becomes a tool of identity
Mayakis brings together two rarely paired worlds: the discipline of manga drawing and the practice of identity personalization. Here, you don't just learn to draw — you learn to represent yourself.
Based in Luxembourg, the studio welcomes every audience, with special attention to young people, for whom creation is a powerful driver of confidence and expression.
Artistic expression
Manga as a language: an accessible, powerful and contemporary medium to tell your story.
Cultural mediation
An inclusive space that brings people together, transmits and celebrates the diversity of paths and identities.
Creative empowerment
Rebuild confidence by drawing who you are, and assert an identity through creation.

Impact & mission
Creation as a lever for emancipation
Mayakis anchors its work in a cultural-mediation approach: making art accessible, fostering dialogue between cultures and giving everyone the means to represent themselves.
For young people, identity personalization through drawing is a powerful driver of confidence, inclusion and intercultural dialogue — goals we share with European programmes and cultural foundations.
We design our workshops to be measurable, reproducible and aligned with the priorities of non-formal education and social cohesion.
