Ka Schmitz, Comic-Zeichnerin, Grafikerin, Illustratorin und Wen-Do-Trainerin in Berlin sprach mit Rosa Reitsamer über ihre Comics, deren Verortung in einer queer-feministischen Community und die Schwierigkeit, Strichfiguren zu zeichnen, die nicht selbstverständlich als „Strichmännchen“ gelesen werden.

Ka, du zeichnest Comix, machst aber auch andere Dinge. Kannst du bitte ein wenig deine Tätigkeitsbereiche schildern?

Queer Female Art Show!

Teaser Image: 

Queer Grrrl Art Links

What: A zine, an art show based in Bellingham WA at the iGallery/Ground Floor in March 2010, and an ever-expanding directory of queer female artists.

Why: We need mentors! I have been searching the Internet to try to find queer female artists and come up short. We all need mentors and peers to bounce ideas off of and to enforce the notion that we do exist and we can succeed. We deserve representation!
