Autorenporträt
Badiucao is a Chinese Australian artist, activist, and political provocateur. One of the most popular and prolific creatives from China, he confronts a variety of social and political issues in his work, often using satire to tackle censorship, authoritarianism, and capitalism. For years, he operated anonymously and was dubbed "China's Banksy". He has exhibited in the US, Australia, and throughout Europe. He has been interviewed by The Washington Post, The Guardian, Time, CNN, NBC, and others. The New York Times and CBS News's 60 Minutes profiled him. In 2020, Badiucao won the Human Rights Foundation's Václav Havel International Prize for Creative Dissent. He currently lives in exile in Australia. This is his debut graphic novel. Melissa Chan is an Emmy-nominated Hong Kong and Taiwanese American foreign correspondent based between Los Angeles and Berlin. She was previously posted in China until she became the first journalist in more than a decade to be expelled by the Chinese authorities in 2012. Much of her reporting examines human rights, the rise of global authoritarianism, and the defense of democracies. She has written for The New York Times where she was nominated for a Loeb Award--business journalism's highest honor--and The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Time, The Guardian, and more. As a broadcast correspondent, she reported for VICE News Tonight and Al Jazeera's Fault Lines. This is her debut graphic novel.
