This international workshop brings together comics artists, scholars, and activists from Latin America and the Arab Mediterranean, as well as their diasporas, to explore the political and imaginative potential of graphic storytelling across the Global South. Moving beyond national and regional frameworks, the event creates a space for dialogue between communities that share intertwined histories of colonialism, dictatorship, displacement, revolution, and ongoing struggles for social justice.
