Spies, Superheroes & Satire: A New Wave of Eco-Comics

Catch Zambian satirist, comic artist, graphic novelist and founder of Foresight Comics, Mwelwa Musonko aka Mwelwa TAX, and cartoonist, illustrator and creator of the Green Humour series on wildlife and nature conservation, Rohan Chakravarty in conversation with Sejal Mehta, who’s a writer, editor, author, and sketcher at Snaggletooth, for the panel discussion Spies, Superheroes and Satire: A New Wave of Eco-Comics.

What are we talking about?

The conversation will dive into journalism and comedy’s long-standing love of satire and satire’s untapped potential in addressing climate change. Of why it’s a great way to rub people the ‘right’ way, speak the unspeakable, dodge censorships and bans and highlight topics that get lost in the noise.

It will also explore humour and creative forms of storytelling that can liven things for a world that’s increasingly jaded and often apathetic as the panellists share how they’re deploying sleuths, superheroes and more to animate and energise green messaging.
