Webinar launch of Folio: Stories of Australian Comics

Be among the first to explore this new website about Australian graphic storytelling! Join us for the launch webinar and hear from the project team, including RMIT Associate Professor in Creative Writing, Ronnie Scott.

Folio is a new website for creators, readers and researchers that showcases stories from the Australian comics community (1980-2020). Over the next year, Folio will continue to grow and expand with oral histories and ephemera from this dynamic period in Australian graphic storytelling.

'Imagine a comic artist carrying a folio of their work – their shiny completed projects, their drafts, their messy mistakes, their notes to themselves, their attempts and failures, a record of their relentless, exhausting labour, a testament to their love of this artform. They spread their folio out on a table. A hidden history is revealed.'

Folio was produced through an ARC-funded partnership between the University of Melbourne, UTS, RMIT, The National Library of Australia and Creative Australia, with web design support from Supermarket Design and PUBLIC digital design studio.
