Visual Diary of CCBP
An observational
storytelling project that transforms everyday
experiences into visual narratives.
This comic recording was created during the IIMA Cultural

classroom through live sketching and comic journaling
while preserving their anonymity.

Through visual storytelling, it celebrates the uniqueness of everyday life, fostering connections and creating an engaging archive of a community’s shared experiences.
