Kruissteekjes

Marjane Satrapi, best known for her graphic memoir Persepolis, turns her pen to a different kind of personal history in Kruissteekjes. Published by Atlas Contact in 2006 as a single-issue work, this comic explores the quiet, often overlooked art of cross-stitching as a metaphor for memory and female experience. Satrapi’s distinctive black-and-white illustrations lend a stark intimacy to this meditation on craft and connection. It stands as a thoughtful, standalone piece from a creator who reshaped how the world sees autobiographical comics.
