Jenny Romaine co-artistic director and founding member of Great Small Works will present a talk called
Ornamentation Is Resistance: Spectacular Strategies for Resistance and Resilience
as part of Ben Katchor's NY Comics & Picture-story Symposium at Parson's School of Design, New York City.
This talk will feature a selection of images and stories from 30 years of projects and processes by Jenny, and her partner radical traditionalists exploring visual storytelling, adornment, festival, and flamboyant aesthetics as a method for building power.
It is part of a weekly symposium for artist/writers working in various text-image forms: comics, picture-stories, animation, etc. at which to present and critique current work. The symposium will offer an ongoing place to learn and think about the traditions and future of text-image work (see more below or here). We hope you can come!
