On Saturday, we dedicate the afternoon to graphic novels, comics, and the artists that make them. Our line-up this year features personal stories of migration and self-discovery and tales that skirt the boundary between the natural and supernatural, brought to life with illustrations. Each story explores life, whether it takes place on thes treets of Berlin, Buenos Aires, Tehran, or some place in a distant future, from a unique perspective, clad in a unique visual style.
