About this work
Also known as
Finding our future
Description
"The theme for our new zine #4 emerged from our discussions about world events as we navigated our way out of a global pandemic. We felt that we were transitioning into a society that was rapidly changing, an experience that alternated between feeling brave and precarious. From the #MeToo movement to the conflict in Ukraine, and the persistent gender disparity in workplaces and homes, it became clear that there was an important conversation to explore within this zine."--From page [1].

Notes
Title from cover.
"Distant Connections is a comic book collective created during the first lockdown in 2020 by a group of artists from diverse backgrounds in terms of culture, experience, career & geographic location (Europe, China, USA & more). Our stories reflect on the strangeness of the lockdown experience and explore how drawing and writing help navigate emotions of isolation and loneliness. We believe engaging with the arts boosts confidence and improves mental health.--From Distant Connection's website.
