Liberated: The Radical Art and Life of Claude Cahun

Kaz Rowe

At the turn of the 20th century in Nantes, France, Lucy Schwob met Suzanne Malherbe, and lightning struck. The two became partners both artistically and romantically and transformed themselves into the creative personas Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore. Together, the couple embarked on a radical journey of Surrealist collaboration that would take them from conservative provincial France to the vibrancy of 1920s Paris to the oppression of Nazi-occupied Jersey during World War II, where they used art to undermine the Nazi regime. Cahun and Moore challenged gender roles and championed freedom at a time when strict societal norms meant that the truth of their relationship had to remain secret. Featuring 10 photographs by Cahun and Moore, this graphic biography by cartoonist Kaz Rowe brings Cahun's inspiring story to life.

Misha: "I'd been working with the writer of that episode, who was a producer on the show as well, for a year on that scene. He did stick around. He was gonna leave the show for the final year but he was like 'if we can get this scene as the final scene for Castiel, then I'm gonna stick around for another year.' And I was like 'holy shit' because that's a really big devotion." (x)

my big dream is it to make a graphic novel or something about the queer history of the Weimar republic because!!!!!! There's so much and it drives me crazy that queer history isn't really talked about that much in Germany... Like the amount of social progress in regards to queerness that was destroyed by the Nazis that is not really discussed? Makes me so sad every time I think about it
