The Ignatz recognizes exceptional work that challenges popular notions of what comics can achieve, both as an art form and as a means of personal expression.

SPX 2017 Panel - 1001 Knights Roundtable: An Artist Discussion About Work and People Positivity
Artists from the 1001 Knights anthology join curators Annie Stoll & Kevin Jay Stanton to discuss their work and process in relation to the journey of the 1001 Knights books. This is a safe, creative, and positive space where artists Shannon Wright, Zack Clemente, Alice Meichi Li, Barbara Perez Marquez & Deandra Tan come together to uplift and express themselves. Embracing each other in this way has made for some amazing, creative and inspiring art! We hope that the art and the spirit of 1001 Knights inspires everyone who watches this panel discussion to make the world a better place through art, dialogue, and action in their own lives!
