Project Scope
Project Description
As of March 12, 2020, the day after the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a pandemic, Czerwiec and his colleagues at Graphic Medicine began collecting, curating, and posting links to comics about the pandemic. The team also started hosting weekly Zoom sessions called "Drawing Together" to gather people around the world to draw in response to their experiences with Covid-19.
Translational Perspective
The project is translational because, particularly with the Drawing Together sessions, it uses drawing as a way of processing complex situations with relation to Covid-19. The authors hope that the comic archive would be particularly useful for communicating important information in an efficient manner.
