The Friends of Madison Library host a New Hampshire Humanities program, Comics in World History and Cultures, presented by Marek Bennett on Thursday, May 13 at 7 pm via Zoom.
PROGRAM REGISTRATION – May 13 Comics in World History and Cultures
Marek Bennett presents a whirlwind survey of comics from around the world and throughout history, with special attention to what these vibrant narratives tell (and show) us about the people and periods that created them. Bennett engages and involves the audience in an interactive discussion of several sample comics representing cultures such as Ancient Rome, Medieval Europe, the Ancient Maya, Feudal and modern Japan, the United States in the early 20th century, and Nazi Germany during World War II. The program explores the various ways of creating and reading comics from around the world, and what these techniques tell us about the cultures in which they occur.
All are welcome!
