Lena Wurthmann - MA Show 2018


Graphic Novel about the experience of a refugee

My Masters Project is a Graphic Novel that tells the story of a young, Afghan refugee and the things that occur on his flight to Germany. The depicted incidents that happen during the journey are based partly on a personal interview, and partly on a study about the experience of flight, whereby results are based on 123 qualitative interviews. I unified these elements into a fictional story that is based on true incidents. The subjective experience of flight is at the centre of my Graphic Novel, but there are also information pages about the refugee crisis as a phenomenon of the mass immigration to Europe and the history and meaning of the right to asylum.
