While there is a wealth of theoretical reflection on what graphic anthropology can contribute to anthropological scholarship, both methodologically and epistemologically, there remains a gap in guidance on how to actually produce ethnographically informed graphic pieces.
In this talk I will ask how creating a comic can contribute to the research process and how this process raises two crucial questions. The first pertains to the narrative: how can I turn my ethnographic material into a story and what form should that story take? Although this may seem a technical question, it contains a deeper one: how is knowledge produced? How can we visually represent this process of knowledge production?
To explore these questions, I will delve into the methodological and epistemological affordances of graphic anthropology and guide you through a series of practical exercises designed to help you reflect on and engage with drawing as an ethnographic method and a mode of storytelling.

Letizia Bonanno is a senior research fellow at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology (IKSA) at the University of Vienna.
