In this illustrated and interactive presentation, Silady explores how fine art and popular media influence one another.

Professor of Comics at California College of the Arts, Matt Silady, will speak about how artists combine the language of cartooning and fine art to reflect on and reinterpret contemporary culture.

From pop art and advertising to newspaper comics and graphic novels, images from everyday life have long shaped how we tell stories and share ideas.

By looking closely at familiar visual forms, he invites audiences to consider how meaning emerges through the relationships between images, text, and our shared cultural experience.
