About this Event
Join Lucy Sullivan for an insightful talk on crafting narratives from personal and sensitive experiences. She’ll explore various approaches to personal storytelling, including diary confessions, fictional autobiographies, and adapting life into folkloric tales.
This talk coincides with an exhibition of Lucy’s publications and portfolio, showcasing her creative process. She will delve into:
- Her acclaimed debut graphic novel, BARKING, inspired by her mental health crisis.
- Her zine series, including 1in4 and How To Build A Free Woman, which tackle sensitive topics and pave the way for longer narratives.
- The creation of a fictional world in SHELTER, based on real-life events.
Lucy will share storytelling techniques, insights on crowdfunding, and publishing tips. She will also explore story themes, using characters to drive narrative, and implementing research in fictional narratives.
The event will conclude with a short Q&A, the opportunity to purchase some of Lucy’s comics, and enjoy our exhibition preview. Deepen your understanding of personal storytelling at Ink & Imagination Festival!
