Dear all,

I hope you are well. Last year, my colleague Dr Justine Lloyd (Macquarie University Sociology) and I co-curated an exhibition titled Panels that Transform: Comics and Activism at Macquarie University Art Gallery in Sydney, Australia. The exhibition featured works by three Australian artists, Safdar Ahmed, Nicky Minus and Sam Wallman. Unfortunately, right before our exhibition was launched, we went into a long lockdown period in our state, so not many people were able to see the exhibition in person.

Luckily, we had some funding and some wonderful tech-savvy colleagues to help us capture the exhibition virtually and make it available for more people to enjoy. You can visit the link below to walk through the art gallery virtually, explore each artwork through high res images, read our exhibition zine and watch the videos that were part of the exhibition.

You can download a PDF copy of our exhibition zine, published by Frances St Press:

You can also watch me and Justine talk about the exhibition during our closing night in this video produced by Kapow Comic Book Show:

We also held a satellite symposium last year tying in with the exhibition. Lines of Resistance: Media, Arts, and Activism was planned as an in-person symposium; however, we shifted it to online during the lockdown. We have recorded the talks and published them through our Centre for Media History account on Youtube. Some talks in the symposium would be of interest to colleagues on this list:

1) Morning Keynote by Safdar Ahmed: The Problem of Witnessing: Graphic Journalism as Social Engagement<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VggTzJWZfsY&t=8s__;!!KGKeukY!h-J9QJb1Pt7dH7dyHiMrnRsIwsolQtoMWtnb1W_JD9pqN9BaelPAcetbdLl967YsYzmtQc4lXQcs$>

2) Queenie Chan - Gamifying the Digital Comic: Using a Hybridised Video Game to Explore Neoliberalism and Intersectionality<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://youtu.be/kew41MiGTAo?t=2851__;!!KGKeukY!h-J9QJb1Pt7dH7dyHiMrnRsIwsolQtoMWtnb1W_JD9pqN9BaelPAcetbdLl967YsYzmtQSnl2VuS$>

3) Iain McIntyre: Agitate, Educate, Organise: The cartoons and graphic art of the Industrial Workers of the World, 1909-1945<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://youtu.be/iu6BC7GKolg?t=2511__;!!KGKeukY!h-J9QJb1Pt7dH7dyHiMrnRsIwsolQtoMWtnb1W_JD9pqN9BaelPAcetbdLl967YsYzmtQaCx4xyo$>

I hope you enjoy these resources and they may give you a glimpse into the Australian comics landscape. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me if you would like further information on any of the resources.

Warm regards,
Can
