Poetry Comic Project

A Snippet of an ongoing poetry comic project inspired by women being marginalised in South African Historical narratives. It features original poetry and illustrations built around the stories of female centered histories. The concept of historical revisionism encapsulates how a project like this can aid in the empowerment of women. This project is worth expounding on because it emphasizes that the stories of African women matter and is an example of comics as social, cultural and political means to reclaiming female voices.
