Dr Cassandra Atherton and Dr Alyson Miller were awarded a VicArts Grant earlier in 2016 for international research and development of a graphic verse novel (collaboration with artist Phil Day and Contemporary Histories Chair Professor David Lowe), that reflects on the anniversary of the first atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima and the 150th anniversary of the publication of ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’.

Cassandra and Alyson will spend time in Japan in November and December for this project and have set up a Twitter account to share their research with us. Follow them @alice_pikadon to see more about the project.
