Sex Education Comics with Isabella Rotman
ASL interpretation and live captioning in English will be provided.
Join Isabella Rotman for an introduction to Sex Education in comics and how this incredibly important but sometimes touchy subject can be taught empathetically, effectively, and humorously in the comics format. We will go over existing sex ed comics (Isabella's, and others') which showcase how the comics format is particularly well-suited to teaching, as well as discuss guiding principles, advice, and methods for creating your own informational comics on whatever topic you are passionate about! Content Note: This event will discuss sexual assault.
All attendees will receive a free snail mailed copy of the Cool Work x Interesting People: Graphic Medicine zine.
Isabella Rotman is a cartoonist and illustrator from Maine. Her art is usually about the ocean, women, crushing loneliness, people in the woods, or sex.

Isabella was nominated for the Promising New Talent Ignatz award in 2017, and her comic Like the Tide was nominated for Outstanding Online Comic in 2020. Isabella is the creator of This Might Hurt Tarot, a modern and queer 78-card tarot deck based on the historic Rider-Waite-Smith deck.
