Abstract
This body of work is a response to the question of how to adapt as an artist amid ecological crisis and failure. Using a multidisciplinary approach, I explore environmental comics as a concept, practice, and teaching method. Following Scott McCloud and Sean Carelton’s definitions of comics as a medium based in visual relationality, I examine how its rich history of exploring other than human perspectives, nontraditional storytelling methods and populist readership, provide a unique format for this time. The manifestation of this research has included a published essay surveying contemporary works; place-based comic workshops in the model of ecopedagogy and Lynda Barry’s instructional book Making Comics (2019); an online resource center outlining artistic strategies for environmental comics, functioning similarly to Lisa Jevbratt’s student hub for her former Interspecies Collaboration class; and an autobiographical webcomic. Though not offered as a political solution, by placing myself in the role of facilitator, researcher, and artist, I am trying to deepen my engagement and responsibilities to my human and nonhuman communities. |
