Making Jewish Comix, Jewish Memory with Rena Yehuda Newman
Facilitated by Rena Yehuda Newman
Join Jewish comix artist and zine maker Rena Yehuda Newman (They/Them) for a 75-minute exploration into Jewish memory through Jewish comix art practices.
In this workshop, we’ll be discussing Jewish storytelling, the relationship between Torah and image, and doing real-time writing and drawing activities (including some inspired by the studio of comix artist Lynda Barry). Get your Jewish creative juices flowing! No drawing or writing experience required for this workshop. All you need is a pen and paper.
This workshop is a part of our Expressions Of Us series.
