Just reflecting on two packed days at #clacconf19 So great to connect with researchers and artists from across Latin America. And great to get my hands on the fanzine produced with my excellent network collaborators... thanks for all the hard work James Scorer and @alanajacko !!

@DrDomDavies Great to have you, @DrDomDavies. Should have added to that tweet that the artist himself was in the audience as well!

Closing the conference with some creative #comics collaboration ✏️ thank you to all our artists, contributors and attendees for an absolutely fantastic two days #clacconf19

[Miguel T. Treviño @paiqui]

Thank you to all of those that organised #clacconf19 and hopefully this academic / creative space can continue to exist.

Vivan los cómics!

[Miguel T. Treviño @paiqui]

The discursive power of Latin American comics to expose inequalities and complex unbalanced societies is a key educational and political tool.

Congrats to @comicsurbanLA who welcomed us in @OfficialUoM for fascinating debates with very talented creatives and researchers.
