MoMM Labs
Incubating new ways of seeing and sharing personal struggles through art, story, and culture.
The first of these is The Comic Book Lab: a flagship cohort where visual storytellers bring their monsters to life in an anthology of original comics.
More Labs are on the horizon, supporting mixed media artists and practitioners working in adjacent spaces.
The Comic Book Lab
Our first Lab brings together comic artists and illustrators to transform raw feelings into monsters with stories of their own. Over one year, creators will develop original narratives with mentorship and production support, culminating in a MoMM comic anthology and exhibitions.
