Graphic Novel Tage: Keum Suk Gendry-Kim

In the organizer's words:

Talking about war and the threat of war

The first half of a double bill and a solo performance: Keum Suk Gendry-Kim lived with her French husband on Ganghwa Island for a long time - close to the border with North Korea. She talks about this in "My Friend Kim Jong-un" (Avant; translation: Alexandra Dickmann), a research comic about recent Korean history. And very recently translated by Nataly Han, she brings along "Gras" (Avant), her documentary comic about a young Korean woman who was forced into prostitution during the Japanese occupation. For Gendry-Kim's Korean homeland, the topic of 'comfort women' is of great importance - because Japan has still not acknowledged its responsibility.
