I recently had the pleasure of facilitating a comics workshop at the University of New Mexico Honors College. This workshop focused on dreaming up one’s ideal community using comics as an interdisciplinary arts approach to visualize and create it. Since comics make visible, tangible, and concrete even the most abstract concepts–whether that’s an emotion, an ideal, or a concept, such as a community–they are a great medium for exploring difficult subjects. I thought I would share a little bit more about it, some samples from the event, and the steps to recreate here if you would like follow along! - Amaris
