PHILADELPHIA and BRYN MAWR – First Person Arts (FPA) and the Bryn Mawr Film Institute (BMFI) present Warning: Graphic Content on Tuesday, March 9 at 7pm, as part of Philagrafika and One Book, One Philadelphia. This multimedia presentation explores the genre of the graphic memoir across multiple forms.

A screening of the film Persepolis, based on the graphic memoir by Marjane Satrapi, will follow the discussion.

THE ARTISTS - Prisoner abuse connected to the Iraq War has influenced the recent work of Philadelphia artist Daniel Heyman, who incorporates the words prisoners speak to him as he draws them. Philadelphia-based comics artist Jamar Nicholas is working on a new, graphic version of Geoffrey Canada’s powerful memoir Fist Stick Knife Gun. Josh Neufeld’s work gives the graphic treatment to his personal life and historical events, including the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
