[ENG] Julie Delporte launches This Woman’s Work

Julie Delporte launches her new Drawn & Quarterly graphic novel This Woman's Work! Drawn in beautifully evocative colored pencil, This Woman's Work is a thoughtful exploration of femininity and the assumptions we make about gender. In the era of #MeToo, Delporte’s questioning is particularly resonant. Delporte will be in conversation with Aleshia Jensen, co-translator of This Woman’s Work, followed by an audience Q&A and signing.

The presentation will be given in English.
