Illustrating Futures is a collaboration between University of Liverpool and Comics Youth. Comics Youth are a non-profit Social Enterprise that delivers comic and zine reading and creation workshops for disadvantaged children and young people aged 8 - 25 within Merseyside and Knowsley to help young people improve their literacy and overall wellbeing, and provide them with the tools to express themselves.
The organisers of this event are Jhelisa Taylor-Brown, co-founder of Comics Youth, David Hering, a Lecturer in Contemporary Literature at the University of Liverpool, and Glyn Morgan, post-doctoral research assistant for the Illustrating Futures project.
