Details
Opening: Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 2pm
Exhibit runs May 3-June 30, 2019, Monday to Friday 9:00-16:30
Architecture has long been a prominent feature of comics, and the comics page even resembles the grid of a modern building, as each panel offers a window into the characters' lives. Join us in looking at how contemporary Canadian cartoonists are drawing cities, streets, and buildings, exploring architecture as spaces we inhabit and as spaces that inhabit us.
