Drawing Lines, postdoctoral research in the Arts
In my postdoctoral role, I focus on the intersection of comics-making, visual storytelling, and artistic research as methods for generating new knowledge and addressing contemporary social, political, and cultural issues. This project expands the understanding of drawing as both a narrative tool and a critical research methodology, contributing to the growing field of comics-based research.
In 2024, it was awarded KU Leuven’s research grant.
