Now up on ACT-I-VATE, "Ai Weiwei: Free in Body, not in Voice"
Today is the final day of Les Subsistances' "Points de vue, Nouvelles du monde" festival. It's been a thrilling - and exhausting - journey. I've really enjoyed mixing with the rest of the participants: Congolese dancer Faustin Linyekula, French experimental theatre company Hauts & Court, Italian theatre troupe Compagny Motus, American radio producer Benjamen Walker, French anthropologist & writer Eric Chauvier, and Haitian-Candian writer Dany Laferrière.
In the two days leading up to the festival, Sari & shot and put together a satirical fumetti (photo comic) about my process as a "journaliste BD." And then each day I researched, wrote, drew, and assembled an eight-page mini-comic in response to a news event of the day. For the first day of the festival (Thursday, June 23, 2011) I chose a story about Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei and his release that day from prison.
I've just posted the comic up on ACT-I-VATE. I've got to get to work on today's project now, but if I have time I will post yesterday's project a bit later. Enjoy...
