Gurlz with Curlz / Editorial Comic

I´ve created this comic with the given topic "rest". It tells about life and how each of us human beings has to carry a certain weight through it. As issue #2 of GWC is all about black women, my comic is getting more specific by picturing BIWOC and the experiences of racism they have to endure from early on throughout their lives, which is a weight they have to carry on top.

All these (phenomenal) women go on a journey where they manage to let these weights behind themselves from time to time. Through their own strength they are able to find a place that is just for them where they are able to heal, rest and let everything go.

GURLZ WITH CURLZ e.V. is a recognized non-profit arts and culture organization founded in 2017 that creates space and visibility for the experiences of Black women in Germany and advocates for the multi-layered representation of their lived realities.
