In the current copy  of the now Open Edition INTERFACES, I write about the brilliant, popular originator of what Der Spiegel magazine dubbed “art-journalism,” Molly Crabapple, and using multiple examples, demonstrate how combining image and text enables her to convey truths with an immediacy and accessibility that neither can do alone.

You will learn how the synergy of Crabapple’s duple talents enables her to give a voice to the victimized, stigmatized, and oppressed–how she has sympathetically portrayed the Occupy Wall Street protesters, sex workers, taxi drivers whose lives were destroyed by predatory lenders, the tortured inmates of Guantanamo, the Syrian peoples warred upon by their own government, and the Ukrainians attacked by Russia.

Enjoy, and don’t miss my embedded 2024 video interview with her.
