SUMMARY:IN PERSON: Resisting Erasure through Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:When Putsata Reang was eight years old\, she didn’t understand why her skin was brown when almost all of her classmates’ skin was white. So she put an eraser to her arm and began to rub\, hoping to become white. A decade later\, feeling disoriented by the dawning realization that she is gay\, Putsata put a razor to her wrist. But ultimately she was too ashamed to end her own life. That’s because when she was a baby\, and her family fled war in her native Cambodia\, her mother had saved her life. \nToday\, an increasing number of Americans like Putsata are at risk of erasure because of external forces such as anti-LGBTQ+ legislation\, and internal forces\, such as shame and discrimination. Putsata discusses the dangers of dwelling on differences and encourages audiences to share their personal stories as an antidote to erasure. \nPutsata Reang (she/her) is an author and journalist whose debut memoir\, Ma and Me\, was awarded the 2023 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association prize for nonfiction and was recognized as a finalist for the 2023 Lambda Literary Award. Her writing has appeared in publications including the New York Times\, Ms. magazine\, Politico\, and The Guardian. Reang has held several prestigious residencies and was a fellow of the Jack Straw Writers program and Alicia Patterson Foundation for journalists. \nReang lives in Seattle.

SUMMARY:IN PERSON: Sequential: The Storytelling Power of Comic Books
DESCRIPTION:Despite the graphic novel’s skyrocketing popularity\, many still view the art form as unsophisticated or less credible than traditional forms of literature. In this talk\, comic artist Josh Tuininga shows how comic books and graphic novels are not only powerful art forms\, but have unique abilities to challenge young readers in surprising ways and can help prepare students for a rapidly changing future.   \nTuininga traces the origins of sequential art—exploring the evolution of the art form and its impact on readers and culture throughout history. He also shares an in-depth look at the sequential art process as he presents his graphic novel\, We Are Not Strangers—a true family story which follows a Jewish immigrant’s efforts to help his Japanese-American neighbors while they are incarcerated during World War II. \nJosh Tuininga (he/him) is an author\, artist\, and designer. After studying fine art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, he founded an art and design agency\, where he continues to work as creative director. His work has been published in the magazines Communication Arts and HOW Design. Tuininga is the author of the children’s books Why Blue? and Dream On. We Are Not Strangers is his first graphic novel. \nTuininga lives in North Bend.
