Workshop: Graphic Narratives with Sarah Lightman

Comics, comix, cartoons, graphic novels, diary drawings, zines; all these forms of graphic narratives give spaces to a story, your story or any story you want to tell during this 60 minute Workshop. You will be led through drawing exercises with the opportunity to work from observation and the space around you.  

This workshop will be faciliated by artist, writer, editor, speaker and curator Dr Sarah Lightman.

We recommend you catch Sarah talking about her work on the 10 Minute Talks Expert Explains Panel which will take place in the cinema Saturday 1.30-2.30pm 

Sarah’s artwork and academic research spotlight women, their struggles, and their ageing bodies. In her paintings and drawings she borrows women from Master and Historic Biblical Paintings and place them in her life. Bathsheba is overwhelmed with household chores, The Virgin Mary is beset with hot flushes and parenting worries, and Lot’s wife is anticipating bladder weakness.
