Abstract

• This Guide was created by Jen Shannon to describe a process called  Community Engaged Comics (CEC) by Jen Shannon and John Swogger, co-producers of NAGPRA Comics and the Kumeyaay Visual Storytelling Project. CEC are basically applied comics that were developed for heritage and community-based projects with Indigenous communities and museums. However, CEC can be developed with any community.

  Community Engaged Comics are a form of collaboration where the result is a comic, and so much more. The comics are a means for community engagement – a form of “arts-based research” – for community members to discuss and build together what they want to communicate about their past, present, and future. Community partners direct the project from conception to implementation to evaluation, and they are in control of content and distribution. Community-based workshops, presentations, and public events are part of CEC as well.
