Harlem To Host Its First Black Comic Book Festival To Launch In January

On Saturday, January 12th from 10am to 4pm, The Schomburg Center For Research in Black Culture of Harlem, New York, will be launching their first Black Comic Festival.

It is described as “a dynamic festival for young people that celebrates the rich tradition of black superheroes and features a screening of the film “White Scripts and Black Supermen: Black Masculinities in Comic Books”; a pop-up art exhibition of “Black Kirby”- a visual homage to the legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby by artists John Jennings (SUNY Buffalo) and Stacey Robinson; panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and exhibit tables with premiere black comic book artists from across the country. Free. All ages welcome. Registration is required.”

You can contact schomburged@nypl.org for more information.

Here is the trailer for the movie that will be screened, "White Scripts and Black Supermen: Black Masculinities in Comic Books"


I might have to check this out if I am not doing anything next weekend.

Black Comic-Book Festival

Black Comic-Book Festival (Saturday) The comic series “Watson and Holmes” is like an alternate reality of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Victorian detective duo. To start, the protagonists of these comic books are black; London looks a lot more like Harlem; and a subtitle like “A Study in Scarlet” becomes “A Study in Black.” The series is one example of many more in which black comic books have reimagined the world, or in some cases even created their own brand of speculative science fiction.

For the fourth year, this comic-book genre gets the festival treatment, presented by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. The free festival coincides with both Martin Luther King’s Birthday and the library’s exhibition about Afrofuturism and diasporan art, “Unveiling Visions: The Alchemy of the Black Imagination.”

The event features a marketplace for vendors to display and sell their comics, as well as film screenings — including the documentary “White Scripts and Black Supermen: Black Masculinities in Comic Books” (at 10:15 a.m.) — and talks on topics like how artists create socially conscious comics (at noon).

More information is at nypl.org/locations/schomburg. From 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., 515 Lenox Avenue, at 135th Street, Hamilton Heights; 917-275-6975.
