SUMMARY:Spokane Public Library Presents: Sequential--The Storytelling Power of Comic Books
DESCRIPTION:This is a Spokane Public Library event. \nWednesday\, March 13th at 5:30pm at Liberty Park Library\n(402 S. Pittsburg St)  \nAbout the event \n\nWriter and illustrator Josh Tuininga will discuss the powerful artistic form of comics and graphic novels. Auntie’s Bookstore will be there to sell copies of the author’s titles following the presentation. This event is free. \nDespite the graphic novel’s skyrocketing popularity\, many still view the art form as unsophisticated or less credible than traditional forms of literature. In this talk\, comic artist Josh Tuininga shows how comic books and graphic novels are not only powerful art forms but have unique abilities to challenge young readers in surprising ways that can help prepare students for a rapidly changing future.   \nTuininga traces the origins of sequential art—exploring the evolution of the art form and its impact on readers and culture throughout history. He also shares an in-depth look at the sequential art process as he presents his graphic novel\, We Are Not Strangers—a true family story which follows a Jewish immigrant’s efforts to help his Japanese-American neighbors while they are incarcerated during World War II. \nAbout the author \n\nJosh Tuininga (he/him) is an author\, artist\, and designer. After studying fine art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, he founded an art and design agency\, where he continues to work as creative director. His work has been published in the magazines Communication Arts and HOW Design. Tuininga is the author of the children’s books Why Blue? and Dream On. We Are Not Strangers is his first graphic novel. \nA note from the library \nThis program is made possible by the Humanities WA Speakers Bureau. \nBy attending library programs\, you are agreeing to potentially appear in photos/videos taken at our locations that may be used in promotional materials including social media. \nWe strive to make events welcoming for people of all abilities.
