Join visiting Dr. Aomar Boum as he explores how graphic memoirs and novels have reshaped historical narratives. Focusing on Saharan Vichy camps during WWII, Dr. Boum discusses how comics combine art and text to reconstruct overlooked histories. He will present a collaborative graphic narrative centered on "Hans," a composite character representing real historical figures, offering a unique lens into the impact of WWII beyond Europe. This engaging talk will delve into the intersection of visual storytelling and archival research.
