Parallel Panels & Sketches in Situ - Two Event Series

Join South Korean comics artist Gyeongmu Noh (Bucheon) and local artists Oslo Davis (Oslo's Melbourne) and Rachel Ang (I Ate the Whole World to Find You) for a two-event series exploring graphic storytelling and cultural exchange.

Event 1: Parallel Panels Discussion - 12:30pm: Gyeongmu Noh, Oslo Davis and Rachel Ang reflect on their experiences in the Parallel Panels cultural exchange residency program, what it means to build a career as a comic/graphic storyteller, and how they draw inspiration from ordinary moments - at home or far away.  

The discussion will be followed by a tea break, where you'll have the chance to mingle with other guests and artists. Refreshments will be provided.

Event 2: Sketches in Situ - 1:45pm: During the second part of the day, you'll get to experience three unique workshops in a round-robin style format. Each artist will facilitate a brief exercise specific to their style. As you move through the room, you'll learn something new from each of these incredible authors.

Please note: 
These are individual sessions; you are welcome to register for one or both of these experiences.  

Parallel Panels has received grant funding from the Australia-Korea Foundation 호한재단

'Portable Stillness' (2025), is an ongoing spatial installation that explores how the making of miniature objects and floating altar-like displays can express memory, collection, and the domestic in transition. Motivated by the instability of diasporic living and continual relocation, Ko Jou Chen constructs handmade structures that carry memory and presence across her shifting environments.
