Hi there! You are invited to a live reading and slideshow of my comic-in-progress, American Colon. In it, I explore my raw experience of coping with my recent diagnosis of colon cancer. Afterward, I will take questions and comments from you and the rest of the audience. Our local neighborhood art/performance/and culinary space Espresso 77 is graciously hosting the event.
This should be a lot of fun. My story, despite the painful moments (or maybe because of them) is punctuated by humor and acts of kindness. And in case you were wondering, I’m doing OK now!
Where: Espresso 77 35-57 77th St, Jackson Heights, NY 11372 (Google Maps Link)
When: 7:30-9PM, Weds, Oct 13

Another local artist, Adam Nadel will also be sharing his photography work (remotely as he is currently in Costa Rica). Here is the description:
“Since the start of the pandemic I have been experimenting with the collodion process, a 150 year old photographic technique. I am using this process to document children's toys as a form of personal expression and cultural exploration.
I make my own 20” x 20” photo-sensitive plates using a bath of silver nitrate. Then I contact print a transparent positive print on the still wet plate. While holding the 20” x 20” plate like a fancy waiter holds a tray, I then pour developer onto the exposed plate, and slowly move the chemistry back-and-forth until processed.”
This program is made possible by the New York City Artist Corps. CAC generously supported both of these projects.
