Roshan Ganu is a multimedia narrative artist originally from Goa-India, now based in Minneapolis. As a part of her narrative work she makes comics, cartoons about her surroundings, and also builds multimedia installations, based on what the story/concept demands. She is the recipient of the Next Step Fund and Arts Impact for Groups awards by MRAC, MNiatures by the Minnesota Opera and has worked with Minneapolis Institute of Art to build narrative engagement. In 2021 she co-founded ‘Aapli Library’, a zine space for community and conversation in Minneapolis with the help of Springboard for the Arts initiative titled ‘Artists Respond: Combating Social Isolation’.
This series of workshop is the exploration of storytelling in the comic art form mining from daily life experiences, with a head-nod to humour (the humour part is optional). This is a longer form of the workshop model wherein we will learn about a brief history of world comics, learn about environment development, penciling, inking, and production. The final goal is a short form comic anthology OR a short form comic of 6-8 pages compiled in the zine format. The student will be able to keep the original work and will be guided on creating copies which can be included in a zine library, a coffee shop or any other public place.
