GUESTS – further details to follow

Deena Newman  – anthropologist, artist, Alexander technique teacher and Biodynamic cranial sacral therapist (UK USA) talking about Diary of an Uncertain Psychic (University of Toronto Press,2025) in which she explores the life and lessons of Elizabeth, a California psychic and radio talk show host, who experienced a continuous flow of inner images. This graphic novel tells a story about images through images.

Donya Todd  – artist, illustrator & comic-book maker (UK-Cornwall) inspired by the magical, mystical and macabre. Talking about her new graphic novel, The Witch’s Egg, out now with Avery Hill Publishing. This book is a culmination of many projects and interests, cannibalised and conjured into a sweeping saga. It’s a dark fairytale following a journey into motherhood, and all the perils it brings – Joy, fear, exhaustion, transformation and love. These feelings amplified and mutated into monsters, witches and ghouls made for a fun and cathartic outlet for me.                               Donyatodd.com     @donyatodd

Chrissy Williams –  Writer (UK) – talking about the making of her comic GOLDEN RAGE, where older women have been deemed useless to society, and are abandoned on an island to fight to the death and make friends and dessert. It’s a dystopian satire described as “Battle Royale meets The Golden Girls”.  Chrissy  is a poet, editor and comic book writer, whose writing has been featured on BBC radio and television. She co-edited Over the Line: An Introduction to Poetry Comics with Tom Humberstone Rage (Image Comics), and the new miniseries Golden Rage: Mother Knows Best is out now.    https://linktr.ee/chrissy.williams
