Comics for climate change: A comics workshop

Difference Engine

This event is part of our Digital Launch Events for The Makers Club: Game On!

Find out how animals in Southeast Asia are affected by global warming and climate change in this guided workshop by ecologist-journalist Debby Ng and illustrator Darel Seow. The duo will unearth lesser-known animals in the region that have had their habitats and lifestyles affected by global warming, and show participants how to draw simple characters based on native Southeast Asian animals. At the end of the workshop, participants will also conceptualize and create a simple comic story about climate change! About the Speakers
Debby Ng is a disease ecologist, photojournalist, and educator. Her study fields span seas and summits – from the tropical reefs of Singapore, to the Himalaya in Nepal – and comprises the diverse social, political, and physical landscapes that are novel to these systems. She is the founder of two volunteer organisations – one based in her home country of Singapore where her focus is on coral reef conservation, and the other based in Nepal that works with Himalayan communities to manage dog-wildlife conflict.
Darel Seow is a visual storyteller who illustrates the tales of the natural world through his unique brand of wry wit and whimsy. An illustration graduate from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (UK), he believes in the draw of storytelling as a means of engagement, creating experiences that simultaneously excite and educate. Particularly interested in museums and culture, he has worked with cultural institutions to encourage learning through the power of imagination and play.

For children aged 7-12. Parents/guardians are welcome to join in.
