PROJECTS
LEAVE NO LINE BEHIND
A comic-art-research-based (CBR) project focusing on graphic novel(ing) to empower neighborhoods.The making of visual stories, graphic novels and comic-art can be a way to take back the power of the narrative of a neighborhood and the everyday life, and thereby be part of creating new and just futures for communities. This project aims to find ways to deal with and help harbor trauma on a community level through comic-based art. By showing and telling stories from a neighborhood’s history and present now, a future can be visualized and created by and for the community. This visualization of a place through visual storytelling can open for the community to collectively harbor the experiences that make a neighborhood.
The comic-art based project Leave no line behind artistically explores the power of visual storytelling and graphic novel(ing) to animate and create new myths by the making of a graphic novel from the local community and interpersonal meetings in the everyday.
