In the French port town of Calais, famous for its historic lace
industry, a city within a city arose. This new town, known as the
Jungle, was home to thousands of refugees, mainly from the Middle
East and Africa, all hoping, somehow, to get to the UK. Into this
squalid shantytown of shipping containers and tents, full of rats
and trash and devoid of toilets and safety, the artist Kate Evans
brought a sketchbook and an open mind. Combining the techniques of
eyewitness reportage with the medium of comic-book storytelling,
Evans has produced this unforgettable book, filled with poignant
images-by turns shocking, infuriating, wry, and heartbreaking.
Accompanying the story of Kate's time spent among the refugees-the
insights acquired and the lives recounted-is the harsh counterpoint
of prejudice and scapegoating arising from the political right.
Threads addresses one of the most pressing issues of modern times
to make a compelling case, through intimate evidence, for the
compassionate treatment of refugees and the free movement of
peoples. Evans's creativity and passion as an artist, activist, and
mother shine through.
