A comics artist's experience teaching workshops to refugees inspires a graphic memoir
As Syria struggles to emerge from decades of conflict, we revisit our November 2018 conversation with Drawn to Berlin author Ali Fitgerald.
Drawn to Berlin follows Ali's encounters with Syrian youth, as she teaches comics workshops at a makeshift refugee center in Germany and hears personal stories about the civil war which has been tearing apart families and communities. Ali also talks about her satirical comics and stories which appear in McSweeney's, The Guardian, Bitch Magazine, and The New Yorker.
This conversation took place in the KBOO studios with host S.W. Conser during Ali's appearance at the 2018 Portland Book Festival.
