Sarah Glidden creates non-fiction comics about journalism, politics, travel and the difficulty of understanding conflicts from partial information. How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less follows her participation in a Birthright Israel trip and records both the organised itinerary and her scepticism about the narratives presented to her. Rolling Blackouts follows a group of journalists travelling through Turkey, Iraq and Syria while reporting on refugees and the aftermath of war, with Glidden paying as much attention to the process and limitations of reporting as to the stories they seek. Her watercolour artwork is clean and restrained, leaving room for conversation and uncertainty. Her work fits graphic journalism, travel comics and political non-fiction. Read more Less
