These days we celebrate that World War 2 had ended 75 years ago. In so many countries there were were memorials planned, that cannot take place in these Corona times. In Berlin there was a congress planned this weekend, the histoCON, organised by the Federal Agency for Civic Education. A congress for young people from all over the world to reflect on WWII and war in general. I was quite excited to be asked to take part in this, to talk with famous graphic novel artist Barbara Yelin and Jakob Hoffmann about our work and how to deal with the subject war in comics.
It would have been the first time that I show some of the artwork of my upcoming graphic novel ‚Columbusstrasse‘ in public. Well, the congress can’t take place, but here’s the good news: this friday we are talking about our work on the internet instead of in Berlin.
We will both show some work, talk about our research and our approach to the subject. We will also read a few pages from our books.
Tune in this friday, 5 pm on histocon. And check out all their other features, too. We may never forget.
