“My residency will focus on listening to the stories of the people who have developed their own strategies to thrive in the South Bronx with the intention of translating their oral testimony into pieces of graphic narrative (sequence of pictures and words with storytelling purpose). From Mott Haven to Port Morris, community members will be able to experience a series of billboard-size illustrated stories, displayed in public places (bodegas, store fronts, building walls). The stories will be based on the hopes and struggles shared by the entire community.”
