The Moody co-hosted a public conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning comic artist Art Spiegelman, author of the groundbreaking graphic memoirs Maus and In the Shadow of No Towers. The keynote event kicked off Comics Sans Frontières, an open academic conference exploring the boundary-pushing tactics of graphic narratives that challenge visual, literary, and cultural expectations.
