Gallery Talk: Aileen Eisenberg '15 on Bande Dessinée: Immigration through comics from the Francophone World—French 57 Exhibition: McCabe Library Main Atrium
A longstanding tradition in Belgium and France, the bande dessinée has evolved alongside contemporary culture and society. It is increasingly being shaped by immigrants' stories, from the perils of their exilic journey and denunciations of their marginal status to constructions of belonging through inventive aesthetics and a reclaiming of the comic book space as a transnational medium. This bi-lingual exhibition, created by students in Dr Gueydan-Turek's French class as their semester project, challenges clichés, assumptions and tensions characterizing the national debate on the place of immigrants in French society and culture.
