Sanitiser On Toast: Visual Vaccine, is the two-day-drawing-workshop which provides a testing ground for visual interpretation, narration, speculation and mediation.

The first visual vaccine will be injected to testify the correlation of visual interpretation and personal recognition. We will have Lucienne Roberts as the visual scientist to lead the healing process on the first day. Joe Kessler will inject us with the second dose of vaccine by showing his practice in comics, inspire us to join in on a journey of narrative drawing workshop, where we create, break, distort, erase and duplicate comics, in a collective way.
