About the event
What does it mean to make art and build comics community in the midst of a constant barrage of unprecedented historical moments? Book bans and challenges based on bigotry and oppression, a precarious international market, fears around travelling, disruptive and unethical tech companies — there seems to be no end to the challenges facing artists today, and yet we continue to create. Join Sanya Anwar, Guy Delisle, Faith Erin Hicks and Cole Pauls - four high-profile comics artists, illustrators, and featured guests - in conversation with TCAF’s Executive Director as they explore being an artist in our current moment and the joy of creating and sharing art against the backdrop of these strange times of ours. In the immortal words of cartoonist KC Green: “This is fine.”
