IN PERSON Q & A WITH CO-DIRECTOR PHILIP DOLIN 

SATURDAY, JANUARY 18 : 3:45 PM SCREENING

Art Spiegelman: Disaster is My Muse! explores the life and career of cartoonist Art Spiegelman and the creation of his Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus, the story of his parents’ survival of the Holocaust and his own struggle to come to terms with this legacy. While best-known for the two volumes of Maus, Spiegelman’s deeply personal body of work also includes In the Shadow of No Towers, Breakdowns, and The Wild Party and he is known for his many provocative covers for The New Yorker magazine. With his wife, Françoise Mouly, Spiegelman published and edited the acclaimed and influential comics magazine RAW from 1980-1991, where Maus was first serialized. When Maus was banned by a Tennessee school board in 2022, Art, a self-avowed “first amendment fundamentalist,” stepped back into the spotlight as an ardent defender of free speech and against book-banning. Disaster is My Muse! is a portrait of an artist fully engaged with his past and his present who, with his chosen medium of comics, helps us to understand our turbulent world, and is testimony to the power of art to make sense of our personal and collective histories.
