Join us for a free talk from the illustrator and researcher behind the graphic novel adaptation of The Worst Journey in the World

Making the Worst Journey

Sarah Airriess (https://www.spri.cam.ac.uk/people/airriess/) is the researcher and illustrator behind the graphic novel adaptation (https://worstjourney.com/) of Apsley Cherry-Garrard's memoir from the Terra Nova expedition. She's also an Institute Affiliate here at the Scott Polar Research Institute, where thanks to her meticulous study, she has the reputation as the top person to go to for help identifying men in photographs from the expedition. We're thrilled to be welcoming her for a talk all about the making of the graphic novel series as part of a special opening for 'Museum Shop Sunday'.

From Sarah:

I'll lead you through the process of adapting the classic memoir of Scott's last expedition, The Worst Journey in the World, into a graphic novel. Research adventures all around the world meet animation and storytelling skills to bring new life to an old story, which may be more relevant today than you might expect.

Tea & Talks are designed for a non-academic audience and offer the chance to learn something new in a friendly environment. Bring along a notepad (or just an open mind) and join us for a cuppa.
