SUMMARY:A Map to Wakanda: Creating (Diverse) Comic Books - A Workshop for Writers (& Artists\, Too!)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by #ReadCaribbean \n2-day workshop: Sat.\, August 25 – Sun.\, August 26\n9 a.m. – 4 p.m.\n \nHow do we write comics that celebrate diversity and cultural dynamism so that our stories are both universal and specific? How do we translate our skills as writers into the graphic medium and include fully realized characters of different backgrounds\, with flaws and challenges they must overcome and learn to cope with\, characters who possess their own hopes\, dreams and agency and are not merely defined by one or two characteristics? How can other genres – Caribbean folktales for example – be “translated” into comics\, and how can these comics become a catalyst in helping readers “see” the humanity of people who have traditionally been dehumanized? \nCome and find out from the pros! \nReadCaribbean brings established writers and artists together to discuss the challenges and rewards of publishing inclusive comics online and in print. Learn about the writer/artist collaboration. Learn how to create diverse\, memorable characters and powerful story arcs\, and explore the various publishing options for YOUR comic book.
