Room 2: Writing Workshop: Moderator: Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos: “Watch out for wormholes: ANCHORED PASTS AND DYNAMIC DUOS IN GRAPHIC STORYTELLING”
A chance to to dip your toes in the Watch out for Wormholes workshop. Abbreviated version to get you thinking on how to ride a wormhole in graphic storytelling.
We’ll walk through works written by prose and comics writer Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos, MPH and explore devices used in creating these past-anchored narratives that deliver us to the future. In the full workshop, we stay close to the landscapes of Nuyorico and Puerto Rico and dive into speculative works that pick up from disaster capitalism, environmental piracy and nostalgic identities. In this abbreviated workshop we’ll use the works “Andromeda” and DR163, stories that combine Orisha identity, Greek mythology, Nuyorican graffiti artists and military veterans. We’ll examine editor/market objectives that influence what makes the page, and the collaborative dialogue between teams that make things work-or not work. The skill set gained here is how to practice heart and identity in your art while navigating the machine.
