Promoting freedom of expression, combating censorship and building diversity, equity and inclusion through arts, audiences are invited to view the Art & Oppression Comics Exhibition between May 26–June 1.

Featuring artwork from Art Professor Dee Hibbert-Jones’ comics student awardees: Aaron Samuel Mulenga, Lizzy Drew, Ellory Erecius, Emily Tran, Isabella Dennis, Milo Halperin, Pichy Jumpholwong, Serena Teresa and Stella Brown. Students directly responded to the Jim Gunderson & Peter Coha comics collection, other eclectic works by independent artists and ephemera from Special Collection & Archives.
