When Alison Bechdel received a MacArthur Award for her bestselling graphic memoir Fun Home, it marked a turning point for LGBTQ+ comics in American culture. From the DIY underground comix scene to mainstream recognition, this program spotlights five bold, witty queer comic artists whose uncensored work tackles big ideas and uses art as a force for social change. A lively mash-up of art, comedy, and history, it shares the remarkable stories of scrappy, pioneering creators who helped make LGBTQIA+ lives visible. Their challenges—and the creative ways they overcame them—are as inspiring as they are entertaining. (Run time: 78 minutes)
