2024 BoBi Honoree Roz Chast and Liana Finck In Conversation

Sharing a keen eye for the absurd in everyday life, cartoonists Roz Chast, the Festival’s 2024 BoBi Honoree, and Liana Finck have inspired each other for years. Join them for a typically hilarious, thoughtful conversation about their new works — Chast’s I Must Be Dreaming, a surreal tour of dream theory and her own dream world, and Finck’s How To Baby, a witty and myth-busting account of her entry into motherhood — as well as insights into the inventive artistic practices that keep them connected to huge audiences ranging from Instagram to the New Yorker on a regular basis. Moderated by Moderated by writer, teacher, and scholar Tahneer Oksman.
