Spotlight on Marcelo D’Salete
Brazilian comic creator Marcelo D’Salete has produced multiple graphic novels that explore the brutal history and painful long-term consequences of slavery in Brazil. "Cumbe / Run for It" (2014), "Angola Janga: Kingdom of Runaway Slaves" (2017), and most-recently "Mukanda Tiodora" (2022) offer poignant and well-researched explorations of the experience of enslaved Afro-Brazilian people across centuries.
SDSU’s Center for Comics Studies and the Behner Stiefel Center for Brazilian Studies have collaborated to host Eisner Award winning D’Salete for a wide-ranging conversation about his work.
Prof. Daniela Gomes will translate this event, which will take place in English and Portuguese. Alonso Nunez of Little Fish Comic Book Studio moderates.
Co-Sponsored by the SDSU Center for Comics Studies and the Behner Stiefel Center for Brazilian Studies. October 12, 2023.
