The Future for Indie Lit, Comics, and Graphic Storytelling
Location: IPRC (1001 SE Division St)
Cost: Free
It’s an undeniable trend: every day, more and more people are reading books and comics on their phones, e-readers and tablets. Rather than disappearing, though, physical books and comics are evolving into more highly-designed art objects. Hosted by the Independent Publishing Resource Center, this conversation will involve a vibrant group of Portland-based writers, zinesters, small press publishers and comics artists, all of whom are thriving within the intersections of traditional printing and digital publishing.
This event is part of Wild: Portland, an exploration of the frontier of art, technology and culture.

Leslie Bradshaw
Leslie Bradshaw
