Devil's Territory
Overview
A 22 page graphic novel about about the relationship between two gay indigenous men revisiting their mysteriously condemned hometown to hide from the consequences of their misled lives
Funded by the CUE Arts Grant and displayed at the Margin of Eras 2018 gallery show
Concept
The comic uses horror and supernatural elements to visibly represent the internal experiences of generational trauma, mental illness, substance abuse, and internalized homophobia, and explores the intersections between the lived experiences of colonized peoples, the LGBT community, and those who live with stigmatized mental illness through the interactions between the characters and their environment
