We're using comic arts to make 'imagining better' more palatable, spirited and evocative...
As women, we deal with knowledge gaps and care disparities that all too often leave us feeling caught in absurd yet dangerous comedies. Research excluding women, studies based solely on male mice models, medical gaslighting, the #1 killer of women allocated just 4% of NIH funding – comic, if all were not true.
Comics - an accessible visual arts form that balances levity with seriousness, and celebrates superpowers and super heroines/heros - is a supportive tool for advocacy and working with tough realities.
...the function of art is to do more than tell it like it is—it’s to imagine what is possible.
