Lesbian comics and cartoons
Fueled by the women’s and the gay liberation movements, as well as the rise of feminist and LGBTQI press, comics and cartoons with lesbian content proliferated in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands from the 1970s till the 1990s.
The exhibition Grapphic Sapphic takes visitors back to that time, showcasing comic strips and cartoons from IHLIA’s collection and the personal archives of the artists, original artwork, clips with some of the artists talking about their work and the context that facilitated it, as well as other objects and interactive elements that help bring the comics to life.
The exhibition takes place at IHLIA on the third floor of Oosterdokskade 143 in Amsterdam until July 9.
