Review: Drawn to Berlin: Comic Workshops in Refugee Shelters and Other Stories from New Europe

Heartbreaking and thought provoking, a graphic novel that makes you reflect on today’s current state of the world.

Ali Fitzgerald‘s new graphic novel, Drawn to Berlin: Comic Workshops in Refugee Shelters and Other Stories from New Europe, is part graphic memoir and part comics journalism. Chronicling her experience in Berlin working with refugees seeking asylum the graphic novel is heartbreaking capturing the reality of these individuals who are seeking a better life and running from tragedy. This is one that brings reality to the page opening eyes to those who are not experiencing it directly.

It’s about loss, community, and how art can bring us closer together.
