Whether the destination is Paris or Yellowknife, comics have long been an ideal vessel for stories about pulling up stakes, crossing borders, and putting down roots in a new place, be it for a semester abroad or a lifetime. From language barriers and culture shocks to homesickness, the process of acclimating to a new environment can be tough, but immersion into a new community is also deeply enriching… Not to mention funny, strange, and surprising! Join us for a discussion with three creators who take us along as they learn not only about their new homes, but also themselves.
