Reflections on Mysore University Indigenous Symposium, September 2014.

by Brenton McKenna

“I had a cool time in India. It was a real culture shock and I learnt a lot. The hospitality of our hosts was beyond gracious and I’m so thankful we were well looked after. I appreciated the opportunity to meet both Indian and other international authors. Although the graphic novel medium wasn’t as familiar in India as it is in Australia I saw a lot of potential for the medium to grow due to the cultural richness India has.”
