African comics

[telophase]

For those of you in or around New York City between Nov 15th and March 18, there's an exhibition of African comic artists' work opening at the Studio Museum in Harlem (warning: the site will atempt to resize your browser window in an annoying fashion). According to Publishers Weekly... there will be a 200-page exhibit catalog to go with it, but the museum's online store doesn't seem to have it yet.

the Africa Comics exhibition features the works of 32 African cartoonists and comics artists. Most of the comics work in the exhibition has never been seen in the U.S. The exhibition features the works of African cartoonists that live in Europe and many other, less-known cartoonists still living in Africa. The show represents artists from across the continent, with work from Central African Republic, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, South Africa and other African nations.

I'm going to try to remember to check back and order the exhibit catalog when it goes on sale, since I won't make it to NYC anytime soon. :)
