Comics Undressed @ Kickstarter [3 Days To Go!]

Comics, heralded as a white heterosexual masculine medium, has in fact a diverse range of contributors, many of whom are women, non-white, and/or do not conform to the binary constructs of sexual or gender identity. However, such voices often go unrecognised or are demeaned in mainstream media. Moreover, the lack of equal economic opportunities for a wide range of creators stifles the output of our culturally diverse society, which in turn is reflected in negative or absent portrayals of women, queers, and people of colour in the content of the medium itself. Representation matters therefore a project like this is exciting and promising.

Entitled "Comics Undressed" this is a project that aims to create an honest documentary about economic, gender-based and racial representation within comic books.



This Kickstarter project is still short of their funding goals. If they do not reach their goals this documentary will not receive any of the funding it has already accumulated and it will not get made. It is therefore crucial that anyone interested make a small donation to this worthy project.

I'll be making a donation and I hope you do too because I'd love to see this documentary made.
