At the Utopiales festival, Léa Murawiec draws grief into relics
Interviewed live from Nantes, the cartoonist behind this year's festival poster discusses her fifth graphic novel, in which the dead become objects passed down to the living.
The cartoonist Léa Murawiec was interviewed live from the Utopiales festival in Nantes on France Culture's programme Les Midis de culture, broadcast on 29 October. She designed this year's festival poster and was there to discuss her fifth graphic novel.
According to France Culture, the book imagines humans who turn into relics after death, a premise the programme frames as a meditation on grief and on what gets passed down between generations. The broadcaster describes the volume's graphic work as striking, and presents Murawiec as one of the notable talents working in French-language comics today.
No title, publisher or release date for the book is given in the source material, nor further detail on its plot beyond the premise of humans becoming relics.
