Project : Discrimination LGBTQ

Times are changing, or so we’ve been told. Today, LGBTQA+ relationships have been truly accepted by only a few people. A lot have only accepted it intellectually. It's acceptable when someone they know is queer - but a matter of shame when it’s someone in their immediate family. This kind of internalized homophobia has been the source of trauma for an innumerable amount of children. Times are indeed changing, just not fast enough. This comic illustrates a daughters monologue - a conscious stream of thoughts shared with her mother.

Project : Discrimination through Classism

Initially, we were apprehensive about working on the topic of classism. It made us uncomfortable. This is why it was important that we did. Classism exists inside our homes. Refusing to see it does not make it disappear. The purpose of using non-human objects was to give a fresher lens to view the absurdity of bigotry through. There is an inherent attitude that people of the lower classes, lower castes, and Dalits do not deserve safety, hygiene, and comfort. This comic aims to portray the unease and rejection seen in conversations about people with lesser rights and privilege deserving the bare minimum.
