A Panel Discussion
Conversation and Comics | White City / Black City: A panel discussion on comics and the city with graphic novelists George Mathen (aka Appupen), Madhuja Mukherjee and Sarbajit Sen along with Shubham Roy Choudhury, Senior Programme Officer, India Foundation for the Arts, on Saturday, December 15, 2018 from 07:00 PM to 09:00 PM.
From fictional Gotham and Sin City to real life New York and Delhi - cities have found a special place in comics and graphic novels; even the forest dweller Phantom comes to the city once in a while. Comics and graphic novels have mostly been an urban art form and the love affair between cities and sequential graphic art has been a long one. In recent years in India, many artists continue to centre their stories on cities.
Madhuja Mukherjee is adapting Nabarun Bhattacharya's dystopic sci-fi Lubdhak for a graphic novel; George Mathen (aka Appupen) continues to build his fictional universe of Halahala into his latest book The Snake and The Lotus; Sarbajit Sen is creating vignettes of autobiographical stories based on Kolkata and its suburbs in a graphic novel tentatively titled Ramblings. All of them tell stories of cities and all of them are making their work in black and white. In this panel, they discuss their work, style, vision and their connection to cities.
