In this conversation, Lee Lai and Jillian Tamaki examine the tactile and embodied nature of comics.
Whether you impatiently page through panels or fall headfirst into the gutter, comics are a literary form that invite the reader in like no other. A new world appears in a brushstroke; a mark on the page can shift your mood, break your heart, swallow you whole. In this conversation, friends Jillian Tamaki and Lee Lai draw on their years-long artistic practices to think through the pleasures, pains and processes of comics making.
Presented in partnership with Liminal
