I recently had the opportunity to curate an exhibition at the Free Library of Philadelphia Parkway Central Art Department! The show runs from May 31st to July 31st of 2023, and was planned alongside the DLITA book launch event on June 15th and related community bookbinding workshop on June 29th. It features work from local artists in the Philadelphia Comics Collection, a few historical examples of sequential art found in the Art Department, and a copy of the Don’t Look Into The Abyss Deluxe Edition. Special thanks to Joshua Kopin, who helped select the comics (particularly the historical examples) and Alina Josan, who made this exhibition happen, collaborated with me on both events, and coordinated this Free Library blog post about the show: https://libwww.freelibrary.org/blog/post/5109
This exhibition would not have been possible without the support of the UArts DEIA Fellowship and the support of the UArts School of Art Dean’s Office.
This exhibition also led to a great interview about DLITA with Rick over at Sequential Philly! https://sequentialphilly.substack.com/p/q-and-a-with-bryn-zeigler
