We are excited to announce our participation in the Harvard Radcliffe Institute’s upcoming exhibit, Drawing Us Together: Public Life and Public Health in Contemporary Comics. 

“The global pandemic and recent movements for racial justice have tested public and private institutions in this country; our sense of collective wellbeing; and familial, social, and civic lives. Drawing Us Together: Public Life and Public Health in Contemporary Comics explores these challenges and the interconnectedness of contemporary public life and public health through the medium of comics. You can visit the exhibit between 9/19/22 – 12/17/22, at The Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, open Monday–Saturday, noon–5 PM.

We would also like to extend congratulations to Dan Nott ’18 for his contributions to the exhibit. His art is also featured in its promotional materials.

“The comics included in this exhibition illustrate who has the power to make decisions about our lives and our health, and how those decisions affect individuals and communities over time, often determined by class, race, gender, and zip code.”  

“This interactive exhibition—anchored by wall-sized graphics from The Center for Comic Studies’ graphic guides to the US healthcare system and democracy—includes a library of over 80 comics spanning the genres of memoir, historical narrative, graphic novel, and informational guide, which visitors are welcome to browse.
