Christina: That’s a great question, I actually didn’t spend much time at Quimby’s as a student, but I was always enamored with the underground comic book and indie publishing scene in Chicago. The printmaking community here is really great too and is one of the strongest in the Midwest.

😜 WE OUTSIDE Y'ALL! 😜Join us for the FREE High Desert Fest with James Spooner, the creator of Afropunk, for a single day culture festival in celebration of his new, coming-of-age graphic novels release!
High Desert is a grabbing, angsty coming-of-age tale that offers a sidewalk view of creative subculture. It's also a poignant ode to the power of music to fill voids left by family and circumstance, with provocations thrumming on race and identity that sound out like a smashed guitar. 🎸The schedule will include a book-signing; zine workshop and small press fair led by yours truly, ; musical performances by The Ire, Truth Cult; DJ sets by Honeychild and CX Kidtronik; and a panel discussion with Black graphic novel leaders, a partridge in a pear tree, & an Artist Talk with James Spooner himself. All that is needed is you! So come on out NYC, strut your stuff and get ready to have fun SATURDAY JUNE 11TH!!!! This will be a night for the books! 🎶The party don't stop till 1AM!🎶 So you know I got a change of shoes! 🤣


FREE ALL AGES EVENT from 1:30PM to 1:00 AM at MoCADA
