In conjunction with: Comic Art Indigène exhibition
http://www.freecomicbookday.com
About Comic Art Indigène:
From January until May 2012, the Rockwell Museum of Western Art will present Comic Art Indigène, an exhibition which examines the influence of comic strips and comic books on contemporary Native American Art. Comic strips, and their unruly offspring, comic books, are maturing as indigenous American art forms. Comic art has been influential to some Native American artists in part because two-fisted tales of suspense, featuring fantastic heroes, villains, and gods old and new, have always been a part of Native American culture. Like American Indian cultures, comic art is amazingly complex and adaptive. As the first widely accessible mass media, comics were consumed by Indian people as a recognizable form of storytelling; expressing cultural stories through pictures. Comic Art Indigène examines how American Indian artists today articulate identity, art, worldview, politics and culture through the kinetic expression of sequential comic art.
Comic Art Indigène has toured the U.S. and has been exhibited at such prestigious institutions as the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. and the Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Springs, California. It is the distinct honor of the Rockwell Museum of Western Art to host the exhibition from January 13 through May 29, 2012.

Lunacy (Sílení, Jan Svankmajer, Czech Republic/Slovakia 2005, 118 min., Czech w/subtitles)
