The Making of 1177 BC: A Graphic History of the Year Civilization Collapsed

Reed College — PAB 320 - Music Rehearsal Room & Lecture Hall3203 SE Woodstock Blvd
A talk by Glynnis Fawkes. How does a cartoonist go about adapting a work of history, specifically Eric H. Cline’s 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed? In this talk Fawkes will describe the process of interpreting Cline’s text in comics, an exercise during which she repeatedly asked herself how she might tell this story visually.

York Panel

Portland Art Museum, Mark Building1119 SW Park Ave
Overview Todd McGrain’s original bust of York, the enslaved man who was the only African American member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, was secretly installed on Mount Tabor Park in 2021.

The surprising appearance of York, with no artist name attached to the work, is a local example of the protest art being created in the wake of political and social unrest. The...
