A dispute over keffiyehs at Sacramento's Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC). Also, the challenges facing California's wine industry. Finally, the fifth annual Latinx Comic Arts Festival. MOSAC Keffiyeh Controversy Controversy has erupted at Sacramento's Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC) after some employees alleged they were treated poorly by management after wearing a black-and-white keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress that has become synonymous with Palestinians. Now, they say, management has changed the workplace policy banning certain types of clothes that MOSAC says “makes a political statement.” CapRadio's Kate Wolffe joins us on Insight with more background on the story, reaction from MOSAC management, and why employees took action by voting to unionize. California Wine Industry Challenges California is one of the top wine producers in the world. But the industry is facing some hard realities. Younger generations aren't turning to wine like their elders. Inflation isn't really helping. There is an overabundance of grapevines. And there's some competition from the cannabis industry. Our resident wine expert Rick Kushman joins us with more on the “why?” and “what can be done?” He'll also explain why spring is the best time to show tasting rooms a little love. Latinx Comic Arts Festival The Latinx Comic Arts Festival is an annual Central Valley celebration of Latinx cartoonists, animators, artists, and other creators. Now in its fifth year, the event returns to Modesto Junior College on March 22-23. Festival director Dr. Theresa Rojas provides a preview of this year's festival, which will feature dozens of workshops, panel discussions, and even a lowrider exhibition.

The Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) is launching a new course this fall that the school says will "meet the demands of Boston's burgeoning comic arts scene."

The Editor-in-Chief of Abrams ComicArts, Charles Kochman, joins the show to talk about the history and present of that graphic novel division of Abrams Books. Kochman discusses the details of his job, his work on Diary of a Wimpy Kid, his publishing background, the origins of Abrams ComicArts, the artists they work with, how MarvelArts came together, drawing in direct market creators, the evolution of Abrams ComicArts, its general vibe, taking on manga, the current landscape, and more.

The fellas sit down and have a chat with Nasser Rodriguez, show promoter for Comic Arts in San Antonio (C.A.S.A.)! Topics include: Writers, artists, colorists & more in comic books. Comic Book to Wrestling pipeline Imprints other than Marvel & DC Comics, and what you should be reading Are comic book movies good for the comic book publishing industry, and so much more! So sit back and enjoy, and be sure to stop by Wonderlands of America Mall on March 25th to enjoy C.A.S.A 2023!

We're kicking off Season 7 of Just Another Friday Night with something a little different as we interview Nasser Rodriguez of Comic Arts - San Antonio! Have you ever wondered what it takes to pull together comic book writers and artists for a comic, book a venue, and get vendors to come out to your event? Well tonight we are going to find out for ourselves! This is the second annual Comic Arts - San Antonio who initially debuted here in San Antonio in the summer of 2022. What is C.A.S.A. ? It's a FREE that's right kiddies FREE, public event promoting the appreciation of comic books, graphic novels, and sequential arts. AA and CM can't count the number of times they've been to a con or a show and there is a serious lack of comic book writers and artists - well not here! We want to know why Nasser chose to stray from the conventional convention of inviting Hollywood type celebs and focusing on those that gave us the source material. It's our also our pre-3 year birthday show so wish us a Happy THREE YEARS PODCASTING BDAY!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jafnpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jafnpodcast/support

Every Tuesday after school, students rush to their bright red lockers, throw their coats on, and head for the stairs. The sound of student chatter is everywhere, while kids squeeze their way through the cramped halls. Usually everyone is heading home by now, but there are a couple of stragglers trying to find a room to stay in before Comic Arts and Illustrations Club starts. I recognize them immediately because they're the same kids who always stay for the chance to be themselves in a safe creative space with Ms. O'Neal… and it's no surprise why.In my selective high school it's easy for students of color – including me – to feel disregarded. But every now and then you find a supportive adult who goes out of their way to make you feel seen.Want exclusive content from Miseducation?

Time Codes: 00:00:27 - Introduction 00:02:11 - Setup of Sumter Comic Arts Symposium 00:05:19 - Sophie Goldstein and Carl Antonowicz 00:54:35 - Jeremy Whitley 01:32:20 - Wrap up 01:34:13 - Contact us Our Man in Sumter As listeners of The Comics Alternative know, Andy oversees the annual Sumter Comic Arts Symposium every spring, and this year is no different. And this time, not only has he organized the entire event, but he also took time out of his duties to interview several of the creators who appeared at the symposium. First, he speaks with Sophie Goldstein and Carl Antonowicz at the local Waffle House -- the sound quality isn't ideal, but the breakfast ambience is palpable -- and then he conducts an interview with Jeremy Whitley, talking primarily about his recent work with Marvel Comics. Be sure to check out today's companion on-location episode where Derek talks with several artists and publishers at Fan Expo Dallas 2017!

On this month's episode of the Comics Alternative's Young Readers series, Gwen and Paul discuss two new releases: Lorena Alvarez's Nightlights from Nobrow Press, geared toward younger readers, and Thi Bui's graphic novel The Best We Could Do, from Abrams ComicArts, an all-ages comic that will be of interest to our teen and adult listeners. They also had a chance to interview Thi Bui and include that segment at the end of the review portion of the show. Lorena Alvarez's Nightlights, a beautiful hardback, picture book-sized comic, focuses on the early years in the life of a young girl, Sandy, who clearly has artistic ambitions and an abundance of creativity. However, Sandy also experiences doubts regarding the source of her imagination and fears about what might happen if inspiration were suddenly to desert her. Gwen and Paul love how Alvarez respects the creative process of a young artist, and they appreciate how Alvarez brings her own experiences growing up in Bogotá, Columbia, into the themes and artwork for Nightlights. For more about Alvarez's biography and work, head over to her website. Those listeners who have enjoyed Vera Brosgol's YA graphic novel Anya's Ghost or Neil Gaiman's novel and graphic novel Coraline, that features the “ghost children,” Nightlights will be a treat. In all three stories, the presence of the supernatural encourages the protagonists to think critically about their various gifts and emotional burdens. Next, Paul and Gwen discuss Thi Bui's The Best We Could Do, a graphic memoir published by Abrams Comicarts. Bui, whose family came to the US as refugees in the wake of the Vietnam War, tells her own and her family's stories, in a narrative weaving history and reflection. Given that the book addresses issues of war and loss, Paul and Gwen emphasize that this text is probably geared more towards the upper range of the YA category. Paul praises the text for its evocative depiction of parent/children relationships, and Gwen agrees, noting that she also appreciated Bui's focus on the refugee experience. After their discussion, Paul and Gwen play an interview that they conducted with Thi Bui about her inspiration, her process, and her work with young people at the International School in Oakland, California. Listeners can learn even more about Bui at her website. Ms. Bui also mentions an event at Oakland International High School featuring her students' comics work. She clarified afterwards that the event will be held April 14th, and listeners are welcomed to attend!
