Deena Mohamed
Deena is an Egyptian comics artist, writer and designer. She first started making comics at eighteen, with her semi-satirical semi-sincere webcomic
Qahera about a visibly muslim Egyptian superhero that addresses social issues such as islamophobia and misogyny. After that, she researched the history of Egyptian comics for her undergraduate thesis in graphic design, which inspired her to create Shubeik Lubeik, her multi-award winning graphic novel trilogy.
The Mollusc Dimension
Born in 1980, The Mollusc Dimension aka Squid (he/him) is a British-born Chinese, multidisciplinary project-based artist. Currently developing his debut autobiographical comic book, “The Weird and Wonderful Surviveries of Squid Horse”, he’s thrilled to speak at LD Comics about his practice, intersectionality, self-published zines (since 2008), interactive projects and squiggly path to comics!
