Chapter 2

Nora Krug

Award-winning illustrator and author Nora Krug is professor of illustration at New York’s Parsons School of Design. Her new graphic novel ‘Heimat’ traces her family’s past amid the atrocities committed by Germany in the Second World War – asking difficult questions about what it means to belong.

Chapter 3

Katherine Findlay

The story of how a UK-born fish merchant helped shape the history of North Atlantic neighbour Iceland at the turn of the 20th century forms the basis of new book ‘The Icelandic Adventures of Pike Ward’. Its editor Katherine Findlay tells us more about the unlikely tale.

Chapter 4

Sandi Tan

In 1992, Singaporean film-maker Sandi Tan shot a road movie with two friends set across the city state, named ‘Shirkers’. But the film never saw the light of day after one of its benefactors sabotaged the project. Sandi Tan joins us to talk through why her film is now hitting screens in documentary form via Netflix and the disorientating 25-year journey to get it there.
