After a quarter of a century of comics criticism, exhibitions, books, debates, and podcasts, Rackham takes over the lecture hall at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art with the international symposium Comics – Past, Present, Future.
The event focuses at comics as an art form, and as literature, exploring the its history, the challenges of today, and with view to a future shaped by cultural shifts, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence.
Joining us are major international guests such as Art Spiegelman, the legendary creator of Maus; Europe’s boldest editorial cartoonist, Coco; and the singular Swedish satirist Liv Strömquist. They’re joined by a number of critics, publishers, editors, and others, including Gary Groth, the driving force behind The Comics Journal and Fantagraphics Books; Benoît Mouchart from Tintin’s publisher Casterman; and Dan Nadel, curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
