Room: Languages & Literature, 1st Floor
Co-presented with Goethe-Institut New York, this talk will focus on the subjects of war, history, and politics, including “Belonging,” a visual memoir about WWII and Krug's own German family history; “Diaries of War,” her recent work of visual journalism documenting the war in Ukraine; and the graphic edition of “On Tyranny,” her collaboration with U.S. historian Timothy Snyder.

Her work has garnered multiple gold and silver medals from the Society of Illustrators and the New York Art Directors Club and was chosen for Houghton Mifflin’s Best American series and the Sundance Film Festival.
