Srobana is an artist, educator and a storyteller

She is passionate about graphic novels and comics and her work explores themes of love, loss, belonging, displacement and connection.

Srobana also has a Ph. D. in Political Science and teaches and researches on political conflict with a special focus on forced displacement and migration through refugee narratives. Based on her field research in Bangladesh, she completed a documentary film, ‘The Voices of Rohingya Refugees.’ Srobana wants to continue using various visual narrative media to share complex consequences of political violence. Her new course, ‘Political Conflict through Visual Narratives’ uses films, comics, graphic novels, photographs and documentaries to compare various types of political conflict through deeply personal narratives and a humanistic lens.

Recently, she completed her MFA in Visual Narrative from School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York to follow her passion in graphic novels. Her thesis project is a sci-fi graphic novel, Flight, exploring connection and belonging through memories across time and space. In addition, she is also working on Where Do I Belong?, another graphic novel about a young refugee boy searching for home.
