In Collaboration with:
Inuit Futures

Napatsi Folger teaches us about the art of comic-making in this Inuit Futures De-ICE-olation workshop. Comics have long been thought of as "low art" or not even considered art at all, a medium of the common folks, but what that really means is that they are an extremely accessible and versatile medium for communication. From the simplicity of stick figure comics about daily life, to topics that range into more artistic and emotional territory, Napatsi shares the wonderfully broad range that comics can provide for a world stuck inside our homes
