Graphic voices
Adapting testimonies of trafficking survivors into comics, Dan Archer chronicles the abuses they suffered and gives a voice to the most unheard members of Nepali society. The unique combination of graphics and illustrated reportage lets interviewees see their likeness being created in real-time, gives them a window into the creative process, and preserves the impact of their stories without revealing their identity.
Dan hopes the cartoons will appeal to a younger, hard to reach audience, engage them, and teach them about the dangers of human trafficking,
The exhibition will form part of a pioneering survey in conjunction with Stanford and Vanderbilt universities to measure the impact of awareness-raising materials across a range of media in remote areas of Nepal.
