Cartooning x Culture: A Kids-only Art Class Celebrating Black Comics & Cartoons, Events

Though comics and cartoons have been long-celebrated for their creativity and entertainment value, these mediums can also showcase and highlight different cultures and lived experiences — for people both within and outside different ethnic groups. Join Black cartoonist and educator LJ-Baptiste as he hones in on the various ways our culture can thrive and be highlighted in comic stories and characters. Each registrant will be treated to over $60 worth of art supplies, as well as some seminal Black comics — all for keeps! Registrants may participate in either of TWO Cartooning x Culture workshops taking place at the Mattapan Branch on June 15 or the Roxbury Branch on June 16.
