Tessa Hulls - SAW Pro-Call

We’re honored to have had Tessa Hulls as a guest speaker, sharing her history with comics, the process behind Feeding Ghosts, and more!

About Tessa:

"Tessa Hulls is an artist/writer/adventurer illuminating the connections between the present and the past.

She is a compulsive genre hopper who has worked in various capacities as an illustrator, lecturer, cartoonist, editor, interviewer, historian, writer, performer, chef, muralist, conductor of social experiments, painter, bicycle mechanic, teacher, and researcher for organizations including The Washington Post, The Henry Art Gallery, The Rumpus, On the Boards, The Seattle Art Museum, Atlas Obscura, Microsoft Research, and others.

As the 2019 awardee of the PEN Northwest Margery Boyden Wilderness Writing Residency, she spent 6.5 months living alone in a remote off grid cabin with no cell service or internet while writing the outline of Feeding Ghosts. She never fully left the woods and has no plans--or desire, or ability-- to truly re-domesticate."

After almost a decade of work, Feeding Ghosts is finished and out in the world as of March 5th. You can order it here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/feeding-ghosts-a-memoir-tessa-hulls/19994803.
