Clarrie and Blanche Pope

Clarrie and her sister Blanche will present their graphic novel ‘Welcome Home’ and Clarrie will also talk briefly about her new project ‘Love’s Labour’ . Published by Minor Compositions, Welcome Home features a group of squatters who occupy an empty flat in a condemned tower in London. It is about lost struggles, unrequited love and irritating activists, and deals with urban regeneration, care homes and dementia. But despite its gloomy topics, it is written with humour and driven by hope.
