Graphic Novels from Europe: New Literature from Europe 2008 is organized by the Goethe-Institut
New York, Istituto Italiano di Cultura, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, Instituto Cervantes,
and the Czech Center New York.
Graphic Novels from Europe is part of the New Literature from Europe series celebrating an emblematic
European form of literature and art this year: the graphic novel. The Graphic Novels from Europe festival
will take place from November 17-21 with seven of Europe’s most famous contemporary graphic novelists
(David B., Nicolas de Crécy, Igort, Jaromír 99, Isabel Kreitz, Max and Jaroslav Rudiš), who will participate
in a series of free events throughout New York City. The five-day festival will include discussions, book signings
and an exhibit of 60 original pages at the French Cultural Services.
Every year since 2004, the cultural institutions of the Czech Republic (Czech Center New York), France
(The Cultural Services of the French Embassy), Germany (Goethe-Institut New York), Italy (Istituto Italiano
di Cultura) and Spain (Instituto Cervantes) come together to celebrate European literature through
a common prism. This year they chose to focus on graphic novels, which have always attracted a wide,
devoted readership in Europe and are increasingly being recognized as a genuine form of literature in
the United States as well. At the intersection of art and literature, graphic novels are also fascinating works
of visual art, with powerful imagery that plays a key role in their story-telling.
The festival, though far from exhaustive, will nevertheless present a wide-ranging panorama of contemporary
European creation. Indeed, the works of the seven selected graphic novelists vary enormously in style
and subject manner, from the hyper-realist to the cartoonish, giving a taste of just how rich and diverse the
European graphic novel scene is. Original works from all seven artists—10 panels from each—will be on display
at the French Cultural Services from November 19 to December 12 during a free exhibit (open weekdays, 12-5pm).
France is also hosting this exhibit to mark its current presidency of the European Union.
