SUMMARY:Sequential: The Storytelling Power of Comic Books
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, June 11\, 2025 as Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents Sequential: The Storytelling Power of Comic Books. This event is sponsored by Humanities Washington. \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\, which was a 2024 Washington State book award finalist!\n \nDespite 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.  \nGesa Power House Theatre is committed to ensuring that the arts are for everyone. Join us for this free community event\, bringing impactful stories to the Walla Walla Valley. Donations are welcome!
