Long Distance Relationship: Asian American Comics Artists and the Complexities of Connecting
USF Thacher Gallery
AUG. 12-NOV. 10
Eddie Ahn, Rina Ayuyang, Tessa Hulls, MariNaomi, and Thien Pham
Long Distance Relationship presents five graphic novel and memoir creators working in a range of styles and techniques to explore their deeply personal and complicated relationships with history, culture, family, and community. As part of the Asian American diaspora, these artists share similar experiences of fissure between the past and present that are both unique and universal.
