Last week i finished the new graphic book by Nanna Johansson, Hur man botar en feminist [How to cure a feminist], and it fun, political and visually explorative. In this book she presents single images, collages, and longer text based stories. She investigates social media (Facebook and net dating) and interacts with commercial companies and authorities (her job applications are quite special). Basically she uncovers social norms, criticize patriarchal hierarchies and manages to make inclusive images. Nanna Johansson is just one of many fantastic Swedish artist who makes graphic books (other favorites of mine are Sara Granér, Nina Hemmingson and Liv Strömqvist), women who are feminists and well articulated both visually and in writing. They make you laugh, they make you think and they make you work a little bit harder.
