The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of MAUS and the grandfather of
modern comics, Art Spiegelman has been an innovator and instigator of
American culture for decades, first as co-editor of RAW magazine, and
later as a cover artist at The New Yorker. WORDLESS!, a multimedia
presentation of slides, stories, history, and live jazz by Phillip
Johnston, is Spiegelman's personal tour of the wordless novels of the
early 20th century that influenced him and generations of graphic
artists to come. Berkeley Talks is a new series of conversations
hosted by UC Berkeley's chancellor, Nicholas B. Dirks, bringing
together international thought leaders, public scholars, creators, and
innovators to examine the distinctive issues of our time. Co-presented
by Cal Performances, these luminaries will engage in dialogue at the
sometimes surprising nexus between their area of expertise and the
university's core mission, celebrating the Chancellor's vision of a
vibrant, engaged and forward-looking campus culture.
