Read the Room co-curator and artist Jason Lips will lead you through a series of cartooning and journaling exercises, culminating in the creation of an autobiographical memory comic, spurred by a random word prompt. This spontaneous process, adapted from cartoonist-educator Lynda Barry, only takes sixteen or so minutes, and is like a time travel portal—You are guaranteed to go somewhere surprising! It is the very process that Lips uses to generate one-page rough drafts for his own comics. It is how his spouse, Haley Lips, began the comic they collaborated on that is included in the exhibition. All ages are welcome, although this technique tends to work best for adults and interested teenagers. All materials will be provided.
