@cartoonlibrary Tune in as painter Kumasi J Barnett takes over our Instagram stories today! Follow along as he gives us a peek at his process, influences, interests and daily life. On March 3rd at 2pm ET on Zoom, painter and OSU alum Kumasi J Barnett will be in conversation with Art & Design Librarian Courtney Hunt and BICLM Associate Curator Caitlin McGurk about his work and career. Influenced by the aesthetics and narratives of comic books, his work subverts and imbues the often-timeless genre with a present-day social consciousness. Barnett frequently paints directly over old copies of comic books, changing their narratives into critiques of police brutality, racial profiling, and more broadly, systemic racism.
