Give a giant welcome to our next VIP Guest from Stick Mob Studio, graphic novelist Seraphina Newberry
An Arrernte woman, Seraphina grew up in a family of Pitjantjatjara artists and has lived in Mparntwe -Alice Springs all of her life.
Painting since the age of five, her love of reading comics inspired her to create graphic novels in high school as an additional form of creative expression that she finds curiously relaxing.
Seraphina is a member of Stick Mob Studio; a collective of storytellers from Mparntwe-Alice Springs who tell stories that reconfigure reality. They create, publish, and exhibit stories that re-imagine different times, places, and identities, challenging deficit narratives of growing up as young Arrernte person in central Australia.
Stick Mob is currently seeking support to raise funds to print their second wave of graphic novels scheduled to launch at the 2025 NT Writers’ Festival and other interstate events- including PCAF!
