Comic Book: Imagining the Black Diaspora
Panchulei – 2024
This comic book produced by Chilean artist Francisca Cárcamo Rojas, known as Panchulei, serves as a documentation of the international conference Imagining the Black Diaspora, held from January 9–10, 2020. Organised by Dustin Breitenwischer and Jasmin Wrobel, the conference aimed to foster dialogue between cultural production and academic reflection surrounding representations of the Black diaspora across the Americas. Bringing together authors, comic artists, translators, and scholars from various disciplines, the event explored the circulation, distribution, and cultural significance of imagery in Black diasporic literature. Discussions encompassed topics such as Black authorship, cultural resistance, stereotyping, and literary market dynamics. The interdisciplinary nature of the conference and its documentation highlights the intersection of visual storytelling, academic inquiry, and cultural critique within the study of the Black diaspora.
