An exhibition of the comics that were drawn by amazing artists inspired by true stories from Jordan’s disabled individuals, who were gracious to allow us into their lives. 

Fanzeen is a collective that launched in Amman, Jordan at F.A.D.A. 317 back in 2018. Why? They wanted to write and draw comics the way they wanted to.  Each issue invites us to meet new artists, who find themselves inspired by the seasoned artists of Fanzeen. Nothing like allowing artists to roam free within the pages of a comic book!

There are 7 issues at this point with a lot of amazing artists, professionals and aspirational creators.

The current issue offers a chance to shed light on the real life stories of disabled individuals – organically. It has been an idea brewing since issue 3. You can read more about how it came to be in the intro written by the British Council and Fanzeen’s editor Mike V. Derderian.

This issue truly gave comics artists the experience of interviewing disabled individuals and dream up comic stories about them without stereotyping them.
