While we gear up for our 2026 Graphic Medicine Conference in Baltimore, Maryland this Summer, our friends at the newly established Graphic Medicine Europe are excited to announce the inaugural Graphic Medicine Europe Conference, Sept 9 – 12, 2026.
About Graphic Medicine Europe
Graphic Medicine Europe is an independent research organization dedicated to the study and practice of Graphic Medicine. Founded in 2026, Graphic Medicine Europe works in close collaboration with the Graphic Medicine International Collective and maintains strong connections with our Italian and Spanish counterparts, Graphic Medicine Italia and Sociedad Española de Medicina Gráfica. Working alongside these organizations, we aim to broaden the reach of Graphic Medicine locally, regionally, and internationally.
About the Graphic Medicine Europe Conference
The inaugural conference, IMAGINATION, MEDIATION, & MANIFESTATION, seeks to advance the political potential of Graphic Medicine by focusing on the doing of Graphic Medicine across artistic practice, theoretical development, and healthcare interventions.
Graphic Medicine Europe is partnering with Cross Comix, a pioneering Rotterdam-based comics organization, to organize an exciting program of keynote lectures, workshops, artist talks, and other events at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and at the 10th annual Cross Comix festival at De Doelen in Rotterdam.
Call For Papers
For the more academically focused part of the conference, from September 9-10 at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Graphic Medicine Europe welcome paper and panel proposals that deal with the themes of IMAGINATION, MEDIATION, & MANIFESTATION, whether within, in-between, or across disciplines, practices, and professions.
To learn more about submitting a proposal, please visit the conference website.
The site for Graphic Medicine Europe is not available; neither is the conference website. And when I click on Cross Comix, I get a major cyber-threat warning notice.
