INFINITUM: Afrofuturist Sequential-Based Narratives

Led by Tim Fielder

Date: Saturday 11 December 2021

Time: 1:30pm – 6:30pm GMT

Venue: Online Zoom

This workshop will train participants to use keywords, visual reference, iterative drawing, and design briefs to generate concepts that are applicable to prose, still, and sequential-based narratives. Concept Design is the process of generating visual or written ideas. When this technique is applied to stories based on and around our diasporas, the dynamic process expands exponentially.

Participants will need to supply their own drawing materials: Pencils; charcoal; pastels/oils or if available: Analog- Pencil/Pen, colours. Digital - iPad, laptop, drawing tablet, photoshop.

He is known for the graphic novel, INFINITUM: An Afrofuturist Tale, published by HarperCollins Amistad in 2021. Additionally, he produced the Glyph Award-winning Matty’s Rocket.
