Welcome to the Art Week CDMX 2024 edition of The Bureau of Queer Art, a pivotal moment as we unveil our third volume and season. This year's edition is particularly special as it brings together an eclectic mix of artists from all three volumes and seasons of our magazine and podcast, showcasing the evolution and diversity of queer and queer-allied contemporary art.  As curator, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the journey we have embarked upon. We have traversed a path that has been illuminated by the creativity, courage, and unapologetic expression of the artists we've featured. In this edition, we celebrate the new and honor the past, weaving together a tapestry of narratives that span the entire spectrum of our publication's history. This year's collaboration extends beyond the walls of Art Gallery Studios, embracing the vibrant artistic community of Colonia Juarez. In partnership with Farmacia Internacional and our participation in the sixth edition of Clavo Movimiento, we are casting a wider net, creating a rich and interconnected queer art experience throughout this culturally rich neighborhood. This expansion is not just a physical one; it symbolizes the growing influence and reach of queer art in our society. This edition is a vibrant exploration into the realms of art that challenge, inspire, and redefine. From Costa Gorel's resonant narratives of resistance to Jessica Ledwich's transformative artistry in Mexico City, each piece is a reflection of the artist's unique journey. Miguel Casco's ‘Send Nudes' challenges our notions of intimacy and vulnerability, while Paul Gravett's ‘Color Studies' meld traditional photography with contemporary art, creating a mesmerizing visual narrative. We are excited to showcase the diverse range of talents that have graced our magazine and podcast over the years. Artists like Nancy Oliveri, with her pioneering work in AI and photography, and Leah Cupino, with her insightful explorations of geography and memory, are just a few examples of the myriad voices that have enriched our publication. To our loyal fans and new readers alike, we offer a unique opportunity: the chance to immerse yourselves in the rich history of The Bureau of Queer Art. We invite you to visit ArtGalleryStudios.com where you can download all three editions of our magazine for free. This is a chance to revisit the journeys of artists from our past volumes and to discover new inspirations in the current edition. Moreover, our podcast, now in its third season, offers an intimate glimpse into the studios and minds of contemporary queer and allied artists. It's an auditory journey through the creative landscapes of these incredible talents, providing deeper insights into their processes, inspirations, and the stories behind their art. As we celebrate Art Week CDMX 2024, we are not just showcasing art; we are fostering a community, building connections, and creating a space where queer art is not just displayed but lived and experienced. We are weaving a narrative that goes beyond the canvas, beyond the photograph, and into the very heart of what it means to be a queer or queer-allied artist in today's world. Join us in this celebration of artistry, identity, and community. Let us explore together the narratives that have shaped our past, define our present, and will illuminate our fexceptionuture. Welcome to a journey of discovery, inspiration, and unbridled creativity.

The cartoonist, writer and illustrator Posy Simmonds brilliantly captures the ambitions and pretensions of the literary world, and the journalist and curator Paul Gravett has worked in comics publishing for decades. Together they bring graphic novels and comic books to the foreground with the Slightly Foxed team. We draw moral lessons from the Ally Sloper cartoons of the 1870s, glimpse Frans Masereel's wordless woodcut stories of the 1920s, view the pictorial politics of Citizen 13660 by Miné Okubo in the 1940s and revisit Art Spiegelman's 1992 Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus before taking a closer look at more contemporary works. From a tragicomic summer with Joff Winterhart, nuclear explosions with Raymond Briggs, the shadow of James Joyce with Mary and Bryan Talbot and an Iranian childhood with Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, the discussion moves through panels, frames, splashes and spreads to Posy Simmonds's own methods in bringing literature to life, including crosshatching to Vivaldi. Originally serialized in the Guardian, Posy's Gemma Bovery builds on the bones of Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Tamara Drewe draws from Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, while Cassandra Darke takes inspiration from Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Though rooted in the classics, the devil is in Posy's detail, be it real French coffee pots, the joy of characters' names, such as Kevin Penwallet, and fictional places, such as Tresoddit. We continue our travels off the beaten track with our usual round-up of reading recommendations, and a trip to Gilbert White's House and Gardens in Hampshire, where we view the landscapes that sparked his evergreen classic The Natural History of Selborne.

Netflix has gone Manga mad. First, it just released the first trailer of its computer-generated version of Ghost in a Shell, a Japanese Manga original. Last week, it announced that it will be producing a live-action adaptation of One Piece, the best-selling comic in the history of Manga. But some Manga purists are concerned.

Dopo un momento di intensa produzione e visibilità all’inizio degli anni ‘90, Chris Reynolds è tornato sulle scene nel 2019 con Un mondo nuovo (Tunué), un’antologia di racconti a fumetti che recupera alcuni suoi storici lavori.

Il critico Paul Gravett, che di Reynolds è un grande estimatore, esplora insieme a lui l’universo narrativo di Mauretania. * Questo incontro si è tenuto il 29 novembre 2019 all'Aula Magna dell'Università di Bologna, durante BilBOlbul Festival internazionale di fumetto.

People in the UK have a worrying lack of knowledge about what constitutes a crime when it comes to the sexual abuse of children, according to a YouGov survey commissioned by Barnardo's. The children's charity has been working with ITV's Emmerdale on a story-line about a teacher who grooms and has sex with a pupil. Jenni is joined by Amanda Naylor, Head of Child Sexual Abuse at Barnado's and Cris McCurley, a partner at BenHoareBell Solicitors in Newcastle to discuss adults in positions of trust and how the Sexual Offences Act 2003 relates to them. The Chelsea Flower Show has started. Women and children are at the heart of one of the gardens that has achieved gold. It's a recreation of a village in Zimbabwe with crops rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients especially good for women, teenage girls and children under five. Siobhann Tighe has been to see it.Today India learns the outcome of its general election. For the first time ever more women are likely to have voted than men. Political parties sought to appeal to women, offering educational loans, free cooking gas cylinders and bikes for girls. Eight percent of parliamentary candidates were women. In one party, the Trinamool Congress Party (TMC), 41 per cent of its candidates were women. Jenni is joined by the BBC's India correspondent Yogita Limaye in Varanasi and Dr Champa Patel, Head of the Chatham House Asia-Pacific programme.To mark the opening of a new retrospective of the work of Posy Simmonds at the House of Illustration in London, Jenni talks to its co-curator Paul Gravett, to comic laureate Hannah Berry and to cartoonist and winner of last year's Observer Cape graphic short story prize, Edith Pritchett. How did Posy become a trailblazing female cartoonist in a male-dominated field? And what impact has her work had on the next generation of women cartoonists and graphic novelists?

Growing out of a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century, manga has become one of the world's most popular and influential graphic art forms, moving from comics into anime films and beyond. This week, Lara Alonso Corona talks to journalist and curator Paul Gravett (http://www.paulgravett.com/articles/article/manga), author of Manga: Sixty years of Japanese Comics and Mangasia about the history of manga and the cultural and political impact of the medium, as well as the upcoming British Museum exhibition on manga, the largest ever of its kind outside of Japan.

This includes The Birth of Kitaro, Kitaro Meets Nurarihyon, Kitaro and the Great Tanuki War, Kitaro's Strange Adventures, and the most recent Kitaro the Vampire Slayer. Both guys love this character, and they have a good time highlighting the usual, and at times wacky, characters that populate Mizuki's yokai narratives. Hair that shoots out projectiles? Walking eyeballs? Farts that destroy? Poisonous pee? Yep...this is the world of Kitaro. After that, Shea and Derek take a completely different turn with Paul Gravett's Mangasia: The Definitive Guide to Asian Comics (Thames and Hudson). This is a visually infused overview of manga from across Asia, not just that in Japan. Gravett's encyclopedic knowledge of Asian comics is unparalleled. And although Shea would have wanted a more critical text, the book's graphic-centric approach serves as a indispensable introduction to the medium.

Israeli author Eshkol Nevo joins the show to talk about his new novel Three Floors Up (Other Press) and how he explained it to passport control on his visit to the US. We talk about how his fiction-writing career both integrates and rejects his past lives in advertising and psychology, explore the Robin Hood model of the creative writing school, and get into the background PTSD of daily life in Israel. Then comics scholar Paul Gravett rejoins the show to talk about his new exhibition, Mangasia: Wonderlands of Asian Comics, and the book that accompanies it. We get into the impact of manga across Asian culture (and beyond), his dream project of a Mexican comics retrospective, and how North Korea's comics visually portray their glorious leader. • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal

"Comics is a medium that isn't going to go away. It may just now finally be coming into its own in the 21st century. In this internet era, there's something very special about what comics do, no matter how much they get warped and changed by technology." Paul Gravett, British comics' The Man at the Crossroads, talks about his new book, Comics Art (Yale University Press), the new exhibition he's curating for the British Library, Comics Unmasked: Art & Anarchy in the UK, the history of comics and his history within it, and the way virtually every lifelong comics reader's home winds up resembling an episode of Hoarders. He's one of comics' finest ambassadors, and it was a pleasure to talk with him during my recent UK trip. "I'm probably slightly insane for wanting to go on looking and searching and questioning and provoking myself, trying to find stuff that doesn't give me what I know already."

Jason Dittmer chairs a panel discussion for the launch of Reframe, an exhibition of comic artworks exploring contemporary attitudes to Europe.

Reframe: Perspectives on Europe through comics from Algeria, Turkey and the UK is presented by Comica, Istanbulles with Studio Rodeo, FIBDA, and Free Word in association with ARTICLE 19 and Booktrust and supported by the European Cultural Foundation.

In this first of what will be a long series of podcasts arising from the 2013 Comics & Medicine conference, we hear Paul Gravett’s rundown of Graphic Medicine work that has come to his attention in the past year. His talk is titled, Frames of Mind: Reflections on Medicine in Comics: An Introductory overview of the past, present, and future. Most of the titles he discusses in his talk, and ones recommended by the conference audience, are linked in this earlier blog post.   The audio from Paul’s talk begins and ends a bit abruptly, but is intact otherwise.
