Comic Art Indigène

Comic Art Indigène | May 11, 2007-January 4, 2009, | Museum of Indian Arts and Culture | Santa Fe, NM



Santa Fe's Museum of Indian Arts and Culture presents the exhibition Comic Art Indigène, an examination of how American Indian artists articulate identity, reclaim stereotypes, worldview, politics, and culture through the kinetic expression of sequential art.

There is a preview party Saturday, May 10, 5:30-7:30 PM; the show officially opens on Sunday, May 11 at 10:00 AM and runs through January 4, 2009. Remember that admission to the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture and all other New Mexico state museums is free for New Mexico residents on Sundays.

The Santa Fe New Mexican has an article on the exhibit, and The Santa Fe Radio Café interviewed the curator.

string #1 and #2

7000 BC is pleased to announce a new ongoing project: string. Every month, we'll present a collection of comics from group members — selections from ongoing series, comics created just for the publication, the monthly jam, whatever we can get — giving an overview of the work being produced in northern New Mexico.

To kick it off, we're presenting the first two issues for download. We'll have copies of them available at the Free Comic Book Day events at True Believers, Comic Warehouse, and Planet X Toys & Comics.

Download a PDF of string #1 and string #2, and check out future issues every month.
