Project description
As an emergent field of practice, urban comics can be understood as a research method that interpret interviews, field research, and lived urban experiences into sequential graphic narratives (Tomiuc, 2022). The intersection of Comics Studies and Urban Studies, two fields that are already interdisciplinary themselves. Drawing parallels between the visual language of comics (Panels, rhythm and compositions) and that of the Infrastructure of cities, this interdisciplinary approach aims to explore forms of storytelling, deepen the understanding of urban landscapes and debate the urban issues. This subject will also be embedded in a socially conscious understanding of the factors that shape media and the cities that we live in.
