#TransformiveEd:Exploring Difficult Subjects through Comics
COLONIAL COMICS will be represented at this year’s American Alliance of Museums’ Annual Conference in St. Louis! #TransformiveEd: Exploring Difficult Subjects through Comics will discuss how museums can use comics to present and explain some of the difficult subject matter from their collections. Colonial Comics editor Jason Rodriguez will join:
- Evan Keeling, cartoonist and Smithsonian exhibit specialist,
- Jenny Robb, curator of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum,
- Rafael Medoff, director of the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, and
- Lawrence-Minh Davis, curator of the Smithsonian’s Asian Pacific American Studies Center
in a panel moderated by Liz Laribee, Colonial Comics II contributor and the cartoonist behind Amira in America, a comic book and reference guide on refugee resettlement.
If you or anyone you know will be at #AAM2017, stop on by the Forces of Change track on Tuesday May 9 10:30-11:45 am!
Additionally, there will be two comics workshops at the show lead by Evan Keeling! CFM Lounge: Imagining Comics Futures Workshop on Monday, May 8, 2-3 PM and Tuesday, May 9, 2-3 PM. I’ll be hanging around the workshops, most likely, making some comics.
