There Is No Place Like Home – Illustrating Heritage, Race and Class Through the Personal Story of International Adoption

Department of Design, Interior architecture and Visual communications, Konstfack

The artistic research project "There Is No Place Like Home" consists of a text guide and a graphic novel. The part called the Companion, is a guide that aims to show how the graphic novel was designed as a research project and that formulates the background, theory, method, intention, design and sources of the work. It is a part that actively reflects on position, readability, communication, transparency and accessibility. Through the combination of text and images, the work tells the story of a personal journey while embodying political agency, calling for change and doing things differently by using a more commercial format that is educational, inviting and accessible.
