Illness and memories of being ill can haunt our bodies physically and emotionally and comics & graphic novels are an excellent medium for storytellers to engage with and begin to repair such trauma. This hands-on workshop explores trauma and wellness through examples from graphic novels including Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home and Charles Burns' Black Holes and helps you learn to tell your story in graphic form.

This event is part of the Being Human Festival and is organised by the Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society at the University of Edinburgh in partnership with the Scottish Storytelling Centre.
