A Hundred Thousand Knots and more – Spotlight on Kukka-Maria Kiuru

Alopecia has always been in my life. It runs in the family. I first got signs of it when I was 5 years old. At the time my parents didn’t know about the symptoms that some of my relatives had already had. Everything that happened because of my alopecia at that time left me with feelings of confusion and uncertanty. Years later, after losing all my body hair, I had to confront my own attitude towards this disease and figure out something to help me get through the bitterness and fear. Alopecia has very visual symptoms. Losing my hair, eyebrows… Read More

The Graphic Medicine Confab is a roundtable conversation focusing on the challenges and techniques of making graphic medicine: comics about everything and anything to do with health, medicine, illness and our bodies. Meetings are organized by Kriota Willberg, Joel Christian Gill, Georgia Webber, and Benjamin Schwartz. Each Confab has a theme and a facilitator (see below for details.) The GMC met four evenings this summer via Zoom.

You may remember Ian Williams’s graphic medicine mural executed by object… at the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft, last year. In the last week or two PRSC have been collaborating with Dr John Lee of the University of Bristol @UoBrisIBAMH, on a COVID-19 #medicineonthewalls project. Using their outdoor gallery wall, and their street-art friends, they are making a video-graff message of public health – with their own take. The designs are available for circulation if @UoBrisIBAMH are credited. Starting with ‘♥ to our NHS Heroes’ by object… (covered by the Guardian, Telegraph and Bristol Live), the wall was painted over three times… Read More

Graphic Medicine is very proud to present Camille Aubry’s A Journey to Motherhood. This is  an autobiographical comic book diary depicting the fun and less-fun bits of maternity, from pregnancy to the toddler years, told with dry, and at times caustic, humour. This graphic narrative has been twice long-listed for the Laydeez do Comics Prize and was exhibited at the Representing Realness show in London this summer. A black & white extract of 32 pages, which has since sold out, was launched at the ELCAF festival this year. Graphic Medicine will be showing A Journey to Motherhood, one chapter at at time, in… Read More

Our Graphic Medicine conference – Que(e)rying Graphic Medicine : Paradigms, Practices and Power – was held in Brighton last week. It was a great success.

Camille is a French illustrator and comic book artist based in Bristol. She graduated as an architect in Paris before completing an MA in Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts. Through her artwork Camille likes to document stories of activism, whether they are born in the streets or at home,… Read More

Guest Post by Rebecca Bloom, LMHC, ATR-BC Art Therapist Instagram: rtext www.bloomcounseling.com When mainstream media began to cover that ICE was imprisoning migrant children in cages, I was on the Kornati Islands in Croatia.  From a speck of limestone in the middle of the Adriatic Sea, I was doing my best to support my friends in the states as they told me about the unrelenting grief they were feeling.  Living in a two room stone house with solar power, cold water only and Wi-Fi, I was sending friends photos of olive trees, street cats and sunsets trying to tell them we would find away to end this. I had been… Read More

Drawing Out – new metaphor-based website to help people with invisible conditions.

People with ‘invisible’ diseases (e.g., infertility, endometriosis, Cystic Fibrosis, ME, depression) may find it especially difficult to explain their experiences to others. A new website, www.drawingout.org, uses simple metaphor-based drawing exercises to help people express and share their thoughts and feelings about their condition. The online galleries showcase the artwork produced by patients, as well as providing links to information and support through their partner charities. The website is the result of collaboration between two academics at Cardiff University: Dr Sofia Gameiro is a psychologist who focuses on understanding and improving the healthcare experiences of infertile patients. Dr Lisa El… Read More
