The Studio Museum in Harlem has an exhibition of Africa Comics that just opened. Calvin has an essay in the catalog, and was involved in bringing this work here. Mary Angela Schroth is one of the curators, a friend who lives in Rome and runs a gallery there (in a space owned by the Vatican - the co-director is a priest - only in Italy).
I got to the opening too late to see the show, but Kym assures me it is terrific.

It was a great show and the catalogue is also wonderful. It includes all the pieces from the show reprinted as well as Calvin's essay. I had a great time at the opening and got to try out my very minimal French while reading the comics. Mostly though, I relied on my training as an anthropologist to get all the references. Turns out all the anthro knowledge is good for something after all.
