Sisters Jillian & Lauren Tamaki are forces to be reckoned with. From Calgary all the way to Toronto and Brooklyn, they’ve each carved out a high-profile place for themselves in the demanding world of illustration and design in service of “dangerous” art. Jillian’s Caldicott Medal-winning YA graphic novel, This One Summer, is one of the most banned books in North America, while Lauren’s Seen and Unseen brings the history, heartbreak, and injustice of 1940s Japanese American incarceration back into the spotlight. They’ll be in conversation with Vinh Nguyen, who went from northeast Calgary to a Governor General’s Literary Award nomination for A Migrant Rain Falls in Reverse.
