During the 7th lecture of the series we looked at the work of Akhran Girmay. He discussed the origins of his process. His obsession with drawing and research as well as his keen sense of personal integrity.
Akhran took us through his influences and elaborated on his ongoing Graphic Novel project that is based on historical fact shown as allegory. It is about how treasures are 'lost' and 'found' as his protagonist searches for meaning in post-imperial/ post-colonial eras. Thanks to Akhran for sharing your work with us over at the London College of Communication.
