Dr. Sarah Lightman is an artist, curator, and writer whose work critically engages with women's autobiographical comics. Her research delves into the intricate intersections of autobiography, identity, and visual storytelling. Through her artistic creations and curatorial endeavors, she explores and amplifies the distinct voices and experiences of female creators.
Distilled from thousands of diary drawings begun in her parents' garden shed back in 1996, Sarah Lightman's The Book of Sarah is an alternative bible to the one she moved away from, along with the religious Jewish lifestyle she followed as a teenager.
