A 1-hour generative comics workshop with Ebony Flowers, in partnership with The Black Unicorn Library and Archive Project. Open to all!

This hands-on virutal workshop is the third event in A CAAPP Black Study on Intimacy Part Two.

Ebony Flowers was born and raised in Maryland. She holds a BA in Biological Anthropology from the University of Maryland College Park and a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she wrote her dissertation as a comic (mostly).

Flowers is a 2017 Rona Jaffe Award recipient. Hot Comb, her debut book, appeared on best of 2019 lists from the Washington Post, NPR, the Guardian, and the New York Public Library. Hot Comb won the Eisner, Ignatz, and Believer Book Award, and received nominations for numerous others, including the NAACP Image Award and the YALSA Alex Awards. Flowers lives in Denver, CO, with her son, husband, and cat.

Similar to last spring's Black Study series,  this season of CAAPP’s programming will be intentionally African diasporic and also in conversation with the range of Indigenous and displaced peoples of color. In this Study, we aim to continue to focus our collective curatorial lens on creating, rethinking, working together to shift inherited categories and ideas of race and community.

📷📷📷CAAPP’s programming is made possible by the generous support of the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of the Arts & Sciences and The Dietrich Foundation.
