 ESCRIPTION:\nListen in as literati power couple Françoise Mouly and Art S

 tt about art and politics\, the subversive responsibilities of artists and
  media makers\, and more. Françoise Mouly is an artist\, author\, and the
  art editor of The New Yorker. Art Spiegelman is a fabled cartoonist and t
 he author of In the Shadow of No Towers\, Breakdowns\, and the Pulitzer Pr
 ize–winning graphic novel Maus. Michael Silverblatt\, host of NPR’s Bo
 okworm\, will moderate a dynamic discussion covering Mouly’s iconic task
  as the person who selects New Yorker covers each week\, Spiegelman’s gr
 oundbreaking expansion of the possibilities of comics\, and the ways these
  and the couple’s many other endeavors respond to timely political issue
 s through culture and creativity. As a married couple who have collaborate
 d since they met in the 1970s\, Spiegelman and Mouly blend the personal an
 d the professional while separately and jointly shaping the culture we all
  experience.\n\nBios:\nFrançoise Mouly has been the art editor of The New
  Yorker since 1993 and is the publisher and editorial director of TOON Boo
 ks. She founded and co-edited (with Art Spiegelman) the groundbreaking com
 ics anthology RAW\; the best-selling Little Lit series\; and the TOON Trea
 sury of Classic Children’s Comics. Over her tenure at The New Yorker\, M
 ouly has been responsible for over 1\,000 covers. She has been named Cheva
 lier in the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture an
 d Communication and received the French Legion of Honor. Her many awards i
 nclude the Richard Gangel Art Director Award from the Society of Illustrat
 ors\, the Eric Carle Museum Bridge Award for “sustained achievement in t
 he realm of the illustrated book for young people\,” and the Smithsonian
  magazine’s Ingenuity Award for being a “transformative figure in comi
 cs.” (Facebook\, Instagram\, The New Yorker profile\, TED profile\, Twit
 ter)\n\nArt Spiegelman almost single-handedly brought comic books out of t
 he toy closet and onto the literature shelves. In 1992\, he won the Pulitz
 er Prize for his Holocaust narrative\, Maus. His comics are known for thei
 r shifting graphic styles\, formal complexity\, and controversial content\
 , while Spiegelman is renowned as both a creator and a historian of comics
 . He was part of the underground comix subculture of the 1960s and ’70s\
 , co-founded the acclaimed avant-garde comics magazine RAW with Françoise
  Mouly\, and has authored Maus\, In the Shadow of No Towers\, and Breakdow
 ns\, among other works. He was a staff artist and writer at The New Yorker
