Slideshow/Book Tour

Tuesday, Oct 25 at 7pm

Allen Hall



Join award-winning cartoonist Keith Knight and Author/Activist Mat Schwarzman as they invade the South Rec. Room of Allen Hall  on Tuesday, Oct. 25th, at 7pm, celebrating the release of two new books; the Beginner's Guide to Community-Based Arts (New Village Press) and The Passion of the Keef: the Fourth K Chronicles Compendium (Manic D Press).

 

Knight 's slideshow spins strange and humorous tales of censorship, race, politics, the importance of community-based art, and being mistaken for Boondocks creator Aaron MacGruder (who wrote the foreword to "Passion..").  The Beginner's Guide to Community Based Arts  (co-authored by Knight and Schwarzman) is a comics-illustrated travelogue that documents real artists at work revitalizing communities across the United States. Artists  include Ricardo Levins Morales, an illustrator with the Northland Poster Collective in Minneapolis. To learn more about the book, go to www.xroadsproject.org. The Passion of the Keef  is Knight's fourth collection of his autobiographical strip, the K Chronicles. His work can be seen in publications across the United States, including Salon.com, Mad Magazine, the Funny Times, Buzz, ESPN the Magazine, and Boston's Weekly Dig. Knight's other books include; Dances with Sheep, Fear of a Black Marker, Red, White, Black & Blue (Manic D Press) and What a Long
 Strange Strip It's Been  (Top Shelf).  For more on Keith Knight, see www.kchronicles.com
