Adventure School for Ladies Comics Intensive June 4 - 15

CAKE is excited to connect with the Adventure School for Ladies Comics Intensive! Not only is the school taking place leading up to CAKE, Anne Elizabeth Moore is one of our special guests, and she's bringing her Lady Drawers posse with her! They'll also be debuting the comic they will be making during the school (more info about both their debut and programming featuring them to come). Here's some information from the school itself:The Adventure School for Ladies Comics Intensive will be going down June 4-15 at the Read/Write Library in Chicago and Spudnik Press, right before CAKE, and it will be awesome. Although we are open to collaborators of all genders and identities, we do ask participants be willing to politically align themselves with the female creators that, in comics, make up over 40% of the industry, 60% of the characters pictured sans culottes*, receive aproximately 10% of the paid gigs at mainstream or independent presses (and yet, submit to publishers at the same rates as male creators do.)If you're in town before CAKE, come to our Orientation Cocktail Party at Spudnik Press on June 3rd, or check the website for other public events that may come together later. But definitely come visit us at our table, where we'll have a new, hot-off-the-presses anthology about gender, race, class, and representational theory in comics. In comics!Wanna better idea of what we do? Here's a comic that will tell you. Here's the anthology we made last year, Unladylike. Here's the Ladydrawers column on Truthout.
