Presented By: Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop on Transnational Comics Studies
Use What You Have: Art Practice and Survival
Anya Ulinich
LECTURE POSTPONED TO FRIDAY 10-12PM REPLACING THE WORKSHOP!
"I would rather talk more generally about art/writing practice and how it fits in with my "civilian" life: why I tell stories and the tools I use in telling them - from autobiographical material, to drawing, to other people's work. I would discuss the difficulties of having an authentic multi-disciplinary art practice and the necessary flexibility in a literary culture that is increasingly about branding and increasingly without pay."
The Thursday lecture will be moderated by prof. Mikhail Krutikov (Slavic/Judaic) and prof. Maya Barzilai (Judaic/German).
The Friday workshop will offer the opportunity to interact with the artist in a less structured and more conversational discussion. Students and general public are welcome to RSVP to vinsalv@umich.edu.
Anya Ulinich is the author of the novel Petropolis (2007) and the graphic novel Lena Finkle's Magic Barrel (2014), both published by Penguin Books. Her stories and essays have appeared in The New York Times, Zoetrope: All-Story, n+1, and PEN America Journal. Ulinich attended the Art Institute of Chicago, holds an MFA from the University of California, Davis, and has taught at NYU and at the Gotham Writer’s Workshop.
