EUA Graphics: Comic Art & Grand Rounds Exhibition


DATE
Friday May 17, 2024
TIME
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Join us in celebrating the artwork created for the “EUA Graphics” Project at the BC Children’s Hospital! 

“Exams Under Anaesthesia (EUA) Graphics: Equity and Neurodiversity in the Operating Room” is a collaboration between Dr. Anamaria Richardson and the UBC Comics Studies Cluster led by Elizabeth Nijdam that invited nine cartoonists to create nine short comics based on interviews with the parents of neurodiverse children. These documents recounted the difficult experiences of parents and caregivers of neurodiverse children who undergo sedation at BCCH.

The “EUA Graphics” Project sought to investigate comics and graphic art as a method of thematic analysis of scientific results.

The artwork and statements from the artists will be available for viewing throughout the day in the Chan Centre and is also on display digitally on the UBC Comics Studies Cluster’s website.

How to Attend:

This is a hybrid event. Participants can join via Zoom here, or attend in-person at the BC Children’s Hospital (BCCH), Chan Education Centre located on 938 W 28th Ave, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4H4.
