GNCRT President's Program: A (Comics) History in the Making!
Comics have changed dramatically over the last twenty years and are now broadly accepted and celebrated. As they continue to infuse the mainstream, comics increasingly share stories from diverse communities around the world that provide insights into both those communities' struggles and celebrations. But in these challenging times, we're seeing how societal inequities continue to exist as they always have or are worsened by the pandemic.
Join Malaka Gharib (I Was Their American Dream) and Tasha Spillet-Sumner (From the Roots Up) in conversation with incoming GNCRT President Alea Perez as they discuss where we find ourselves as members of the comics community trying to navigate a new reality, what we can do to use this historical moment to move our individual communities forward towards real change, and how creators can use their stories to not only entertain, but also to enlighten and inspire action.
