As the northeast monsoon leaves and the southwest monsoon season arrives, MONSOON by Slowork Publishing is coming to Penang too! What are documentary comics?We're familiar with documentaries, and we know what comics are, but what are documentary comics?
Based on real-life people and events, documentary comics are often regarded as "documentaries on paper", using graphic narratives instead of film to explore and document daily lives and social issues, regional tales and unspeakable experiences. Think of it as a graphic novel, but for non-fiction. Focusing on Southeast Asia, the exhibition will showcase 5 artists from the "Monsoon" series - Lefty Julian and NOvia Shin from Malaysia; Adoor Yeh, 61Chi, and Tseng Yao-Ching from Taiwan - offering a rare platform for discovering regional tales and talents.
