Researching money, race and gender in Finnish comics

with Anne Elizabeth Moore and Femicomix, Finnish feminist comics network.

Where do all the female comics art students end up to? Why are all gatekeepers men? Who gets the most pie?
Participants of a workshop at Villa Salin residence present the results of their research.

In January 2014 we started a research on Finnish comics field, focusing on libraries, grants, publishers, comics students and their career after school, press visibility & writers etc. Our project is based on Anne Elizabeth Moore’s and Ladydrawers’ similar research on North American comics field.
