For their 11th annual University of Florida Conference on Comics and Graphic Novels, the Graduate Comics Organization will look at "Traumics: Comics Narratives of Trauma."
And presenting one of their keynote speakers is noneother than our very own Carol Tyler, and on Saturday, April 5th, she will present a talk on "Graphic Emotion: Weighted Words and Moving Marks" at 7:00 PM, with a reception to follow at 8:30 PM with drinks and hors d’oeuvres. Surely, anyone who has read Tyler's series, You'll Never Know, her graphic memoir focusing on the artist's father and his experiences in World War II, knows that she's an expert on graphic emotion!
On Sunday, April 6th, Carol will lead an artist's workshop titled "Comics: Getting Down to Basics" at 11:15 AM.
Keynote lectures and receptions will be held in Ustler Hall. All other events will be held in Pugh Hall. Ustler Hall is located on the University of Florida at the intersection of East West Drive and Fletcher Drive. The conference is FREE and open to the public.
