#Brighton put this Christmas shopping opportunity in the calendar! We’ll be there with copies of Draw the Line - the ideal gift for friends & family who’re feeling powerless in these crazy political times.
Lastly @KaneIcarusLynch from USA. Kane’s journalism comics for The Nib examine topics such as conspiracy theories, Russian politics, and undocumented workers in the United States. In 2020 he contributed Guantanamo Voices: True accounts from the world’s most infamous prison
Kate Evans @cartoonkate shed new light on the refugee crisis at the Calais ‘jungle’ with Threads, explored the life of a Marxist philosopher in Red Rosa, & has made a lifetime’s work of exposing, explaining & ridiculing inequity, ecological disaster and human rights violations.
Plus @JoanReilly will join us from rural Pennsylvania, USA. With author Elly Lonon she worked on Amongst the Liberal Elite, exploring societal inequalities solidified by Trump. Her current frank and relatable diary comic project explores her experiences with brain cancer.
Beata Sosnowska, from Poland, is a multimedia artist, poet, comic illustrator, experimental filmmaker and graphic designer. She recently worked with Japanese ethnic minority Ainu and Polish woman artists on “Mówi Onna” (“Speaking Onna”).
Then @siiriviljakka Siiri Viljakka is a visual & sequential artist from Finland. Her often deeply biographical work is powerful in its own right, but also gently normalises all forms of gender expression, queerness & bodily being.
1st up will be Myfanwy Tristram @mockduck, whose comics explore activism, protest & pop culture. She’ll explain how Draw the Line started as a humble Facebook post and blossomed into an international project involving more than 100 comic artists.
Six Draw the Line artists are speaking at @LDComics this Tuesday - FREE and ONLINE. Register to reserve your place now! ldcomics.com
So, after our fab event at @Cartoonmuseumuk last night, the book is launched and available now via your favourite book outlet! google.com/shopping/product/…
With the UK's inhumane refugee policy up for debate by even the right wing press, @kazmantra's picture for Draw The Line is once again relevant, depicting as it does a warm welcome for those who may be from a different country, but are still the same species!
