A Tale of Printmaking, Storytelling, Creativity and a Concrete River
A Tale of Printmaking, Storytelling, Creativity and a Concrete River In-Person
You are invited to attend a discussion event as part of the It Really is a River exhibition (running through May 31, 2023) at The Claremont Colleges Library. Esteemed printmaker Daniel Gonzalez and best-selling author Tim DeRoche (Pomona Class of 1992) will be in conversation about their 2018 book collaboration, The Ballad of Huck & Miguel. Tim’s reworking of the classic Huck Finn tale coupled with Daniel’s intricate linocut print illustrations reimagines both the original work, and the Los Angeles River, in invigorating and thought-provoking ways.
The conversation - spanning printmaking, creative collaboration and environmental storytelling - will be introduced and moderated by public historian and LA River X founder Tilly Hinton, along with professor of literature and director of the Harvey Mudd College Makerspace Jeff Groves.
This event is part of The People’s Archive, a collaboration between LA River X, Pomona College and The Claremont Colleges Library, with generous support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
This event is free and open to all - no registration required!
