Beginning in January 2018, Dereume will work with 221A Librarian Vincent Tao to develop Comix for Community Solidarity, a social infrastructure program that brings together artists, their institutions, and communities of struggle.
Between Fall 2018 and Spring 2019, participating artists will work with groups that organize communities to combat the city’s escalating housing and overdose crises from below: Ali Bosley with the Vancouver Tenants Union (VTU), Jack Lloyd with the DTES SRO Collaborative, and Andrea Lukici with the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU).
Together, they will produce a series of three comic publications that tell the stories of Vancouver communities working to survive and fight for liberation. The production and distribution of the publications will be collaboratively planned between 221A and the partnering groups as a means to build new solidarities and serve the struggle for a more common world.
