Sat 29 June - WALLIS EATES - Graphic novels, brain injury and Dementia

The graphic novelist discusses her work around dementia and brain injury. 'Like an Orange' is being developed with publishers Unbound. Wallis: 'In 2016, I was a very lucky artist. I got to spend six weeks with the East London branch of Headway, a charity that helps brain injury survivors to rehabilitate. The East London branch do this by providing an art studio called ‘Submit to Love’ where those who have sustained a brain injury can develop an art practice. ‘Like an Orange’ is about the people I met at the studio.' Wallis is a co-ordinator for the comic-makers group, Laydeez Do Comics.
