CONFERENCE:

Beyond Word & Image: The Making of a Graphic Novel

Date: Friday, 5th December, 2014
Time: 12:00pm
Duration: 1 hour 

Comics or graphic novels or bande dessinee – call it what you will, storytelling through images and words is as old as human culture.

Writer Jai Undurti will take you on a journey to the mythical past, through the pages of Hyderabad: A Graphic Novel.

The project is at the junction of journalism, photography, and film – drawing on all their strengths, yet preserving a certain character and strength unique to the medium. See how a team of artists around the world came together to bring to life the Hyderabad of lore and legend – to recreate a vanished city.
