Andere Umstände

Julia Zejn’s Andere Umstände, published by avant-verlag since 2021, is a spare, intimate graphic novel that follows a woman navigating an unplanned pregnancy and the quiet upheaval it brings to her life and relationships. Through Zejn’s delicate, observational art and understated storytelling, the series explores the emotional and physical complexities of choice, bodily autonomy, and the shifting ground of partnership. With just a single issue so far, it stands as a focused, deeply personal work that resonates with contemporary conversations around motherhood and identity.
