Joel Smith, Richard L. Menschel Curator and Department Head, Photography

To coincide with the exhibition From Here to Here: Richard McGuire Makes a Book, this adult workshop offers a chance at a hands-on exploration of visual storytelling. With comic artist, illustrator, and Art Students League Instructor Steven Walker, participants will learn the language of comics and reflect on the best ways to convey a story by using various illustration techniques.

In Richard McGuire's graphic narrative Here, one corner of a living room in New Jersey, becomes the point of intersection among events from the past and future. McGuire will be joined in conversation by Michael Benson, author of Cosmigraphics: Picturing Space Through Time, and Matt Knutzen, the Geospatial Librarian at The New York Public Library. The program is co-organized with the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at The New York Public Library.
