About the event
Out in Parks is a graphic novel that captures Manoel’s lived experience of homelessness, HIV, and resilience. Co‑created with Crisis and supported by AHF‑UK, it blends personal testimony with powerful visuals to shed light on the realities of poverty, stigma, and survival. The book is both a deeply personal story and a call to action — using creative storytelling to inspire compassion, challenge inequality, and advocate for systemic change.
