Event Description : "Drawing the Line: Indian Women Fight Back" Book Presentation. 

In April 2014 young comic artists from all over India met in New Delhi to work on ideas for stories dealing with everyday discrimination of women and violence against them. They were advised and guided by three experienced artists, Larissa Bertonasco and Ludmilla Bartscht from Germany and Priya Kuriyan from India. 15 of the stories developed during the workshop are included in Drawing the Line – Indian Women Fight Back, published by Zubaan Publishers, New Delhi.
These storyboards etch topics that range from the fairness mania and gender at workplace to sexual bullying and matrimony. Kaveri Gopalakrishnan’s Basic Space, from which this extract is taken, is a series of urban vignettes on how women negotiate public spaces today. Times of India.
Each artist has a distinctive hand, and it’s an absolute joy to encounter a new voice every 10 pages or so. Some stories are set out in the sort of frames that might traditionally come to mind when you think of a comic book. The New Indian Express.

In collaboration with: Zubaan Books.
