Join us for a special screening of the powerful new documentary Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse, followed by an in-depth conversation with the film’s directors, Philip Dolin and Molly Bernstein. This revealing portrait offers an intimate look at the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of Maus, exploring how personal trauma, the Holocaust, cultural catastrophe, and political unrest have shaped Spiegelman’s life and work.
After the screening, the documentary’s directors will take the stage to discuss the making of the film, the impact of Spiegelman’s work on Holocaust education, and how his artwork still resonates with communities today. Audiences will gain behind-the-scenes insights into the storytelling process and the unique responsibility of documenting an artist of such impact. This is a must-see event for fans of comics, documentary film, and anyone interested in how artists transform chaos into lasting cultural impact.
