Telling the Story of Parkinson's Disease: Can Comics Help?

Graphic Brighton: Drawing in the Margins was a worthy opener to this year's Brighton Fringe, and celebrated ways in which comics are able to facilitate different voices being heard, and discussed the ethics of representing those voices which might otherwise not be heard. So for anyone who wants to continue that debate, this event at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School will be an interesting addition: bringing together people with Parkinson’s Disease, researchers, graphic artists and comic creators. Hosted by Bobbie Farsides, Professor in Clinical and Biomedical Ethics at the University of Sussex, the evening will mix visuals, discussion and a close-up look at the experience of patients and their carers, and discuss the place of the comic in telling those all-important patient stories. With Muna Al-Jawad, comics artist and consultant in Elderly Medicine at the Brighton & Sussex University Hospital; Mandy Assin, comics artist and consultant psychiatrist for Sussex NHS; Ian Williams, physician and author of the graphic novel The Bad Doctor, and Nicola Streeten, comics researcher and author of the graphic memoir Billy, Me & You.
