Project snapshot
Women in Comics Collective International is an organization that hosts the WinC Creative Conference, an annual event dedicated to empowering comic book creators, focusing on both their creative projects and self-care. The conference features panel discussions, professional and self-care workshops, and an artist market showcasing local artists’ works. In an age where the appreciation for creatorship risks being overshadowed by technological advances, this event places a well-deserved spotlight back on creatives. This year, the event coincides with Pride weekend, aiming to celebrate and amplify the voices of LGBTQIA artists and multimedia professionals. By choosing Queens for the venue, it honors the borough’s rich legacy of activism and artistry while supporting LGBTQIA artists of color.
