ART LOOKS The Engage: Comics class at the California College of the Arts is comprised of a diverse collection of students from various majors passionate about making comics that engage the world around them.

This year, they teamed with 48Hills.org and housing activists from the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project and the Housing Rights Committee to create comics from first person accounts of San Francisco’s housing crisis.

The students met with and interviewed people who are struggling or have struggled to remain in their homes, and then turned these stories into compelling visual narratives. Justin Hall was the professor of the Engage: Comics class, and Peter Glanting was the Teaching Assistant. 

The following comic is by CCA students Kseniia Zhuravskaia and Chee Min Lo. Click on each image to enlarge! (You might have to click twice). This is our final installment. See the whole series here.48 Hills: Drawing the Crisis

Kseniia Zhuravskaia was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia and is currently getting her diploma in animation. Although her focus is on character animation, she enjoys using different media to create engaging stories. Her inspiration comes from artists in various media: the illustrator A. Beardsley, painter M. Vroubel, animator Sylvain Chomet, and writer S. Dovlatov. She hopes that one day her own work will become an inspiration for someone else as well.
