To respond to the cancellation of our 2020 Graphic Medicine conference in Toronto, to combat the social isolation of pandemic-related lockdowns, and to support and promote community, the Graphic Medicine International Cooperative (GMIC) launched a free weekly virtual meet-up called “Drawing Together” on April 6.
We provided a Zoom link, a topic, and a group facilitator. Members of the world-wide Graphic Medicine community gathered to draw, support one another, and share. See links below to the first thirteen weekly sessions that ran until June 28. This page will serve as an ongoing archive of our sessions. Our intention is to create video posts to guide you through exercises from all the sessions.
Starting in July 2020, these gatherings are now be held monthly, on the last Sunday of the month, at 1pmET.
If you are already on the invitation list from previous sessions, you will automatically receive an invitation to all sessions unless you request to be unsubscribed. If you are not on the invitation list, and want to participate, email MK via her website to be added to the list.
