\nDreams really do come true.<\/h2>\n

Before the third quarter of 2022 ended, CGAfrica joined the prestigious gatherings of world-class digital artists and creators of the year.<\/p>\n

The Trojan Horse Was a Unicorn (THU) 2022<\/a> conference was held from 19th to 24th September 2022 in Portugal. CGAfrica did not miss the opportunity to get acquainted with like-minded people.<\/p>\n

Empowering Creators at THU 2022: A Journey of Transformation<\/h2>\n

In 2022, the creative community gathered for an extraordinary event, the Trojan Horse Was a Unicorn (THU) conference, themed \u201cA Place to Become.<\/a>\u201d This inspiring conference was more than just a meeting of minds; it was a transformative journey designed to empower creators from all walks of life.<\/p>\n

At THU 2022, participants were encouraged to face their fears and embrace their true selves. The event was a melting pot of creativity, featuring a variety of workshops, insightful talks, and invaluable networking opportunities. It was a place where artists, animators, and storytellers could connect, learn, and grow together.<\/p>\n

The conference\u2019s mission was clear: to foster a supportive community where individuals could explore their potential and carve out their unique paths in the creative world. By providing a nurturing environment, THU 2022 helped attendees unlock new levels of creativity and confidence.<\/p>\n

THU 2022 aimed to share different ideas, new learnings, and eventually change mindsets among its digital creative participants.<\/p>\n

CGAfrica was represented by Bertil Svanekiaer, of Ghana<\/a>. A mainstay artist of CGAfrica whose impressive portfolio makes way for sponsorship from mobile games (Candy Crush) giant \u2013 King. It was the perfect moment for him to meet fellow creators and industry experts in this one fantastic gathering.<\/p>\n

Together with Bertil, Mayowa Osewa and Femi Osewa, staff of CGAfrica<\/a>, also got the chance to attend THU 2022. These computer graphics enthusiasts had the time of their lives gaining more ideas and friends.<\/p>\n
