Description

Professor Doris Jones from the American University in Cairo presents the Ahmed Toughan Cartoon Collection to showcase how these artifacts foster meaningful archival literacy experiences for undergraduate students. The American University in Cairo's Rare Books and Special Collections Library has acquired more than 600 of the 5,000 original drawings. Toughan, (1929-2014) was a renowned political cartoonist, illustrator and painter. Throughout his entire career, he captured in bold silhouettes the political and social crises the world encountered, with special focus on the Middle East. His cartoons were featured in Egypt's major daily newspapers and magazines such as Rose al-Yousuf, Akhbar al-Youm, and al-Jumhuria, which Toughan co-founded in 1953 with his friend, President Anwar al-Sadat. He was also the recipient of many national and international awards from Algeria and Yemen, as well as the Best Arab Cartoonist Award, 1987; Grand Medal of Fine Arts, 1997; State Medal of Science and Arts of the First Order, 1997 and Nile State Award, 2014. This collection offers a bounty of visual artifacts for archival education that are rich in intellectual substance for curriculum design.

ABOUT Keeper of the Lost Cities The Graphic Novel Part 1

The first book in the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling Keeper of the Lost Cities series is being reimagined as a graphic novel with the first half of the epic novel adapted to this new format with beautiful artwork!

Twelve-year-old Sophie Foster has never quite fit into her life. She's skipped multiple grades and doesn't really connect with the older kids at school, but she's not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie's a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least, that's what she thinks…

But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she's not alone. He's a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…she isn't. Fitz opens Sophie's eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known.

This stunning graphic novel retelling of the first half of the thrilling first novel comes to life with all the adventure and epic worldbuilding the Keeper of the Lost Cities series is known for.

SHANNON MESSENGER graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where she learned—among other things—that she liked watching movies much better than making them. She's studied art, screenwriting, and film production, but she realized her real passion was writing stories for children. She's the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of the award-winning middle grade series, Keeper of the Lost Cities, as well as the Sky Fall series for young adults. Her books have been featured on multiple state reading lists, published in numerous countries, and translated into many different languages. She lives in Southern California with her family—and an embarrassing number of cats. Find her online at ShannonMessenger.com.

Trung Le Nguyen, author of The Magic Fish at MLK Public Library in DC

Trung Le Nguyen, author of The Magic Fish at MLK Public Library in DC

From the DCPL website: 

Eisner and Lambda Award nominated cartoonist Trung Le Nguyen, author of The Magic Fish at MLK Public Library in DC. At a time when graphic novels, especially those written by LGBTQ authors and writers of color, are being targeted by book bans, we are thrilled to host Nguyen to celebrate his work telling stories from the API and LGBTQ communities. In conversation with former Ambassador to Vietnam Ted Osius, Nguyen discussed his writing and art and the importance of representation in storytelling.

 This was a really interesting interview by Ambassador Osius who admitted to no prior knowledge of graphic novels, and who was our first gay ambassador to Vietnam. All my quotes are approximate paraphrases, and you should watch the YouTube video.

 

 

 

 

"Why is my book banned? They put it on Middle School lists although it was sold a young adults book. Then they focus on the queer content. And they ignore the cannibalism."

 

 

 

 

"My father was a prizefighter and my mother grew up in a rough area so she learned to defend herself. Mr Father was impressed at how she could break a man's jaw when her foot. They got married, became boat people and escaped from Vietnam. They were practical people so they didn't worry about what the Church thought when I accidentally came out to them."

 

"The reason I set the Cinderella story in 1950s Hong Kong movie style, was because I don't have an inkling, even in my own imagination, as to what Vietnam looked like hundreds of years ago. I was born in the Philippines and raised in Minnesota. So I had a conversation with my grandmother about what her youth looked like."

 I'm uploading old newsletters for work to the Medical Heritage Library, and just ran across this page from the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth newsletter for July 2009.

The article doesn't talk about the cartoon part of the campaign, but it appears to be archived in the Internet Archive. I can't get the java script to run, but Mark talks a little about the work here.
