(Detail from page 1. The Amsterdamse Joffers)
The Amsterdamse Joffers, 6 pages story, 9 biographies, 2016
The Amsterdamse Joffers was a group of women artists who worked from the end of the 19th century well in to the 20th century in Amsterdam. My documentary comic is a ‚herstory‘ investigating the world these women lived in and questions what the real legacy is they left behind.
I draw parallels to the work we do as a collective with Chicks on Comics and within that context I include personal thoughts about perspectives now and then.
The Amsterdamse Joffers was published in English on Drawing the Times and in Dutch on Pulp Deluxe. 2022, It was printed in Dutch by Stichting Kunsttunnel in an exhibition magazine of Villa Mondriaan to commemorate an exhibition of The Amsterdamse Joffers.
