by faculty Steve Bissette
Location: Briggs Opera House, 5 S Main St, White River Junction
As an instructor at The Center for Cartoon Studies since its founding in 2005, long-time cartoonist/writer/editor/publisher Stephen R. Bissette has been privileged to witness (and, at times, participate in) the creative process of various cartoonists as they created work that focused on their own personal health issues and histories. Bissette offers an illustrated overview of the path, perils, and potential inherent in the creation of such intensely intimate and introspective works.

My research is in graphic medicine and curatorial practice. I would be interested in possibly arranging a time to interview gm curators and artists about their practice, as well as gm exhibit visitors about their experiences. And, I would love to talk to anyone at the conference about their own interests and work. Also, I love cats so that is always a good conversation starter.
