Coming Soon Jews have had an extensive contribution to comics, but the focus has been mostly on male artists and their larger than life superhero counterparts. This fall, learn how women contributed to the history of comics, and in particular, to autobiographical comics, a genre they helped birth in Graphic Details: Confessional Comics by Jewish Women. The exhibit features 18 artists, whose writings and drawings depict their own pain, laughter, shame, triumphs and self-doubts in a way that taps a collective nerve. The Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU will host a members’ only exhibit opening on Monday, November 4 at 6 p.m. RSVP by October 25. The exhibit will open to the public on Tuesday, November 5 and remain on display through February 16, 2014. Curated by Michael Kaminer and Sarah Lightman. Traveling exhibition developed by Yeshiva University Museum curator Zachary Paul Levine. Local funding provided by Funding Arts Network. 26
