Africa Comics

The first-ever exhibition of comic art from Africa is on now at the Studio Museum in Harlem—"an unprecedented opportunity to explore the work of a group of underappreciated artists from more than a dozen African nations." Using a medium most Americans still associate with superheroes and juvenility, these artists are using comics to depict the rage, desperation, hope and humor of daily life in modern Africa. Through March 18th. [via the Village Voice]
