Drawing Girls Together: An AutobioGRAPHICal Anthology

This project draws together, as in: cultivates a cross-network community of artists and fashions individual comic-like figures into a collective book. An autobiomythoGRAPHIC blends the contradictory conceptions and senses of self that surface through autobiographic narratives with the visual self-making practices of fabulation and cultural myth. Taking both blackness and comix as objects of knowledge, the project seeks to unveil much about the materiality and imagination of being in this current moment. Phases of the research include crafting a curriculum for interrogating identity and comics together, implementing this curriculum across multiple sites, producing an ethnographic text that captures the community and research processes and outcomes, and collaboratively processing the results of such creative experimentation for future exploration.
