Graphic Medicine 2026 Conference, Baltimore MD
The Graphic Medicine International Collective is thrilled to team with Johns Hopkins University for the 2026 annual Graphic Medicine conference in Baltimore, from July 23-25, 2026.
The conference theme is Drawing Perspectives: Health Graphic Narratives Under Pressure. We will explore this theme broadly to include the many ways our community of graphic medicine authors, artists, and scholars leverage the medium of comics to propose diverse perspectives on healthcare, illness, disability, or social medicine, often working under various pressures, whether these relate to living with chronic illness, shifting institutional conditions for health and medical research and care practices, or other constraints such as time, healthcare disparities, ableism, and various forms of marginalization and prejudice.
