Hello

My name is Adrian Pourviseh

I am a development economist-turned sea rescue activist. In October 2023 my first graphic novel about my latest sea rescue mission in the central Mediterranean will be published.

"Das Schimmern der See"

My first graphic novel describes 72 hours on board the rescue ship Sea-Watch 3 in the Mediterranean Sea. It showcases the gruesome reality at the European external border.

Nice, thank you for your interest :)

I have been holding talks and workshops about migration to Europe and the situation in the central Mediterranean Sea since 2019. With the launch of my book, I am happy to be invited to book-readings.

I recently started to hold workshops on creating powerful graphic novels & comics.

Graphic recording

Since 2022 I also work as a graphic facilitator for live graphic recording.

In 2020, I created a motion comic based on the story of Fathima, a young woman from Burkina Faso who was among the survivors onboard the Sea-Watch 3 during the infamous sea rescue mission with captain Carola Rackete. Fathima tells the story of her journey toward Europe.

As a field media coordinator on board a sea rescue ship, I am capturing the horror and the beauty of the central Mediterranean Sea.
