For the past 10 weeks, Artist-in-Residence, Maria Fong, has been using comic-making to guide highschool-age students in reflecting upon choice and agency in their lives through “Chapters of Choice.” A program Urbano has been proud to host with our friends, Unbound Visuals Arts, at their Overlook Gallery in Brighton (175 Washington Street), and one that we’re proud to be hosting a final showcase event for this Saturday. Join us in flipping through the voices, choices, decisions our students have illustrated onto paper. Students will present this collection of comics and zines they have written, drawn and produced. They will also lead creative activities for the open public. RSVP link in bio!
