In 2023, Majid Bita published Nato in Iran, his first graphic novel. Autobiographical in nature, the book retraces Bita's story and that of his family after the Iranian Revolution and their move to Italy. In this conversation, Bita will speak with Anna Finozzi about the aesthetic, semantic, and graphic choices that shaped Nato in Iran.

The discussion will touch on themes such as civil disobedience, intergenerational political dissent, silence, and censorship.
