@2PM Expanding Comics’ Conversations
"Like any art medium, comics has both a history of traditions as well as a vibrant and changing present. The small press & DIY pockets of comics, in particular, can create a unique space for innovation by cross-pollinating with other art forms and conversations. @haejinduck (BOX), @katfajardoart (Gringa!, La Raza), @pablogotobed (Sugar Rush, La Raza), @sarahlammer, and Matthew James-Wilson (@forgeartmag ) join Kevin Czap (@czapbooks) to talk about how they each contribute to the ongoing conversation between comics and the world around them."
✿ The Paper Jazz Poster Showcase on view at @clocktowernyc in Red Hook ‘til March 11th
✿ The NYC Feminist Zinefest on Sunday, March 5th at Barnard College
