Just came home from a mourning ceremony for Jutta Harms, who died shortly before Christmas.
#Comics people know her well, though most of you may not. At least in Germany, the recent, growing acceptance of comics as an art form as well as as a platform for feminist discourse is unthinkable without Jutta laying the groundwork since the early 90‘s, tirelessly translating, curating, shepherding artists and connecting the dots of local comic scenes dispersed all over Europe.

But I am all the more thankful to have had her around me during very formative years. It left a deep impression on me when she finally left her secure job at a law firm for good in order to concentrate on the precarious life of a freelance comic connectrix.
