Curator Ellen Forney presents the traveling exhibit, Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived and Well-Drawn! at the Seattle Public Library on June 9 from 3–5pm.
Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived and Well-Drawn! explores an increasingly popular, yet little-known literary field that presents personal illness narratives and health information through the medium of comics. The exhibition showcases items from the NLM’s growing collection of graphic memoirs depicting people’s experiences with an array of health issues, including breast cancer, deafness, mental illness, HIV/AIDS, and more.
