WHAT: Graphic Details: Confessional Comics by Jewish Women WHEN: Opens September 25 WHERE: Yeshiva University Museum, 15 W. 16th Street, New York, NY 10011, COST: Adults: $8; Seniors and Students: $6; Members and Children under 5: Free WEB: This well-reviewed and often-startling exhibition makes its New York City debut after successful runs in San Francisco and Toronto, and provides the first in-depth look at a vibrant and prolific niche of graphic storytelling – Jewish women’s autobiographical comics. While the influential role of Jews in cartooning has long been acknowledged, the role of Jewish women in shaping the medium is still largely unexplored. This exhibition of original drawings, full comic books and graphic novels presents the powerful work of artists whose intimate and complex work has influenced the world of comics over the last four decades YU Museum will host several public events and programs to meet the curators and some of the artists throughout the run of Graphic Details, which closes on April 15, 2012. PUBLIC PROGRAMS Curator’s Tour: Graphic Details – Confessional Comics by Jewish Women Sunday, September 25, 2011: 2 p.m. Join co-curators Michael Kaminer and Sarah Lightman on a tour of the exhibition.
