Comics

Fear and Fantasy

Three wishes sold at a Cairo kiosk force their buyers to face their personal struggles; disaffected video game inventors watch their invention warp fantasy into reality; and a young, queer artist tries to reconcile his childhood memories with his deepest desires and fears while navigating Beirut’s vibrant underground scene. Deena Mohamed (Shubeik Lubeik), Joseph Kai (Restless), and K Wroten (Eden II) discuss how surrealism and otherworldliness can help us navigate uncomfortable subjects. Moderated by Joan Zahra Dark, Cartoonist Cooperative.
