Cartoonist and MacArthur Genius Award recipient Alison Bechdel’s work will be featured in a pop-up exhibit at the MSU Library. Bechdel is famous for her long-running comic strip, Dykes to Watch Out For, and her graphic memoir, Fun Home, which was adapted as a musical and won a Tony Award. She’s also known for the Bechdel Test, a measure of the representation of women in fiction and in films. This pop-up exhibit, which is free and open to all, is part of a series of Friday exhibits in the MSU Libraries Special Collections Seminar Room featuring hands-on displays of rare, unusual, and historical titles.
ABOUT THE “OUR OWN STORY, OWN YOUR STORY” PROGRAMS
This spring semester 2020, the arts and culture programming at Michigan State University confronts the urgent questions of racial prejudice, implicit bias, inequality, human and social justice, mass incarceration, and citizenship by bringing together internationally renowned artists, composers, writers, poets, and filmmakers. From April 5 to 10, nine events will boldly take up a broad range of storytelling practices to encourage compassionate thinking, generate awareness of our most pressing social issues, and serve as inspiring catalysts for civic action. All these events are open to the public.
We welcome you to come and listen to award-winning singers, musicians, filmmakers, poets, and artists and hear the stories of our time. We hope that listening to these stories will help you find your own. For more information on other events: http://www.cal.msu.edu/signature-events
