Hair Love at National Museum of Women in the Arts - sold out
Cultural Capital: Hair Love—Screening & Conversation
 |
Sunday, February 23 | 4–6:30 p.m.
Join us for a screening of the Oscar-winning short film Hair Love (7 min.), followed by a conversation with the film's writer and director, Matthew Cherry and the illustrator of the original children's book, Vashti Harrison. Hair Love centers around the relationship between an African American father, Stephen, his daughter, Zuri, and her hair. This story was born out of a lack of representation in mainstream animated projects and a desire to promote hair love among young men and women of color.
Following the conversation, enjoy a small reception and book signing with Cherry; copies of the Hair Love children's book, based off of the film, will be available for purchase.
Reservation required. Free. SOLD OUT!

ICAF @ SPX Abstracts Due Tomorrow!
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
International Comic Arts Forum
Sept. 12-13, 2020
Small Press Expo/Bethesda, MD
Abstracts due: Feb. 15, 2020
International Comic Arts Forum
Sept. 12-13, 2020
Small Press Expo/Bethesda, MD
Abstracts due: Feb. 15, 2020
The International Comic Arts Forum invites proposals for scholarly presentations for its twenty-first meeting, to be held at the Small Press Expo (SPX) in Bethesda, Maryland from September 12-13, 2020. Scholars who present at ICAF will have the opportunity, as part of their registration fee, to enjoy SPX exhibitors, artist talks, and the Ignatz Awards ceremony. ICAF will be co-located with SPX at the Marriott North Bethesda Hotel & Conference Center, which will also provide accommodations to attendees at a reduced rate. Our keynote speaker for the 2020 conference will be Martha H. Kennedy, Library of Congress curator and author of Drawn to Purpose: American Women Illustrators and Cartoonists.
ICAF welcomes original proposals from diverse disciplines and theoretical perspectives on any aspect of comics or cartooning. We particularly welcome proposals of presentations that reflect an international perspective. Studies of aesthetics, production, distribution, and/or reception, as well as analysis of social, ideological, and/or historical significance are equally welcome, as are studies that address larger theoretical issues linked to comics or cartooning. Given the shared histories and missions of ICAF and SPX, two events that have long celebrated diversity, inclusion, and independence in the comics world, we hope to offer thematic panels on small press, independent, and self-published comics of all genres. We also hope to highlight the work of women and non-binary cartoonists; submissions in these areas are encouraged, though not required.
PROPOSAL GUIDELINES: ICAF prefers argumentative, thesis-driven presentations that are clearly linked to larger critical, artistic, or cultural issues; we avoid those that are survey-like in character. We accept original 20-minute presentations that have not been presented or accepted for publication elsewhere. Presenters can assume an audience versed in comics and the fundamentals of comics studies. Proposals should not exceed 300 words.
All proposals will be subject to blind review. Applicants can expect to receive notice of their proposal's standing by April 10, 2020 (acceptance, rejection, or wait-listing).
Send abstracts by February 15, 2020, to ICAF Academic Director Brittany Tullis: TullisBrittanyN@sau.edu

'Birds Of Prey' Takes Flight says Pop Culture Happy Hour

21-Minute Listen
Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) get a full reboot in Cathy Yan's Birds of Prey.
Margot Robbie played Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad in 2016. Now, she's back in Birds of Prey. It finds Harley crossing paths with characters played by Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rosie Perez, and a very bad villain played by Ewan McGregor. The film provides the backstory for the team that will become the Birds of Prey, and it develops the character of Harley beyond her relationship with the Joker.

Clifford Berryman cartoon in National Archives' Suffragette exhibit
The National Archives celebrates the centennial of the 19th Amendment's ratification with its newest exhibit, Rightfully Hers: American Women and the Vote. The exhibition features more than 90 items—including the original 19th Amendment and other records, artifacts, and photographs—that look beyond suffrage parades and protests to the often overlooked story behind this landmark moment in American history. This fuller retelling of the struggle for women's voting rights highlights the dynamic engagement of diverse suffragists in the struggle to win the vote for one half of the people. The exhibit is free and open to the public in the Lawrence F. O'Brien Gallery at the National Archives Museum.
