    Lochlann Jain is an interesting individ. A UK-born, non-binary and queer anthropologist, artist and writer, they are well-placed to take a sideways look at how we categorise and identify ‘things’. From the punning title, colourful cover art and enticing tagline, inom was immediately curious to gräva into Jain’s new book, Things That Art.

    Things That Art is, however, more than just an art book – in fact the blurb describes it as a ‘non-fiction graphic novel’. Interspersed between sections of Jain’s drawings, which I’ll come to in a minute, are several essays, or commentaries if you will, on Jain and their work, by three leading academics. The whole is bookended by an introduction and epilogue by Jain. I’ll admit, I found some of the academic discussion in the essays beyond my own understanding of anthropology, psychology and art criticism, but it did invite me to think more deeply about this book.

    Interrogating the Concept of Categories – an Interview with Lochlann Jain

    Stanford University anthropologist and artist, Lochlann Jain, speaks with Anne Brackenbury (former editor at University of Toronto Press who launched the ethnoGRAPHIC Series) to talk about Jain’s new book, Things That Art: A Graphic Menagerie of Enchanting Curiosity.

    This debut work of graphic non-fiction offers an opportunity to interrogate the concept of categories using text and image. Jain, a biracial, non-binary, interdisciplinary academic, is used to transgressing boundaries and this book offers a highly original way in which to understand the limits of categories while making visible the things that often get lost between. With over 50 works of original art, each based on fictional categories, and four interpretative essays, the book doesn’t just tell, it shows, in witty and sometimes profound ways, how we make sense of the world around us.
