Fitzgerald spent eight years in Berlin teaching her illustrating craft to centers asylum seekers from countries like Syria and Afghanistan – people who have often been targets of bigotry and hatred in both their native and adopted countries. Her powerful graphic memoir chronicles her experience with these extraordinary students, telling both their stories and her own. Fitzgerald, an artist who has exhibited extensively in Europe and the U.S., has had her comics regularly featured in The New Yorker, New York Magazine, and McSweeney's, and her book is a compassionate and intimate look at the empowering capacities of art, capturing the highs and lows of a decade in an ever-changing European metropolis.

Matthew Thurber launches his hilarious new graphic novel Art Comic with a performance, discussion, and book signing!
Art Comic is a blunt and hilarious assault on the swirling hot mess that is the art world. Sycophantic fans, duplicitous gallerists, fatuous patrons, and self-aggrandizing art stars: he lampoons each and every facet of the eminently ridiculous industry of truth and beauty. Part scathing condemnation, part irreverent appreciation, Thurber's comics skewer the art world in a way only an art lover can.
