Author/Artist Ben Passmore will be in conversation with Terence Washington,  guest-curator of 's Zora J Murff: RACE/HUSTLE exhibition this Thursday in the R&D.

We'll be discussing Passmore's Eisner AND Ignatz Award-winning graphic novel Black Arms to Hold You Up (Pantheon)--a boisterous, darkly funny, and sobering march through Black militant history.  It’s the summer of 2020, and downtown Philly is in flames. “You’re not out in the streets with everyone else?” Ronnie asks his ambivalent son, Ben, shambling in with arms full of used books: the works of Malcom X, Robert F. Williams, Assata and Sanyika Shakur, among others. “Black liberation is your fight, too.”

A booksigning will follow. Can't make it? Order a copy here and we'll have it signed for you.

Washington leads a curator tour of RACE/HUSTLE at 3pm. More info at massmoca.org

Tickets are officially on sale to catch acclaimed New Yorker cartoonists and Jason Adam Katzenstein Katzenstein in conversation about their new book, "The Two Saddest Kitchens: A Comics Conversation" on October 17 in MASS MoCA's Hunter Center!

In "The Two Saddest Kitchens,"the kitchen is the "heart of the home," or at least it's supposed to be. The book pulls back the curtain on our hilarious, all-too-relatable kitchen realities, in a work in which "everyone not named Martha Stewart will recognize themselves" according to Ruth Reichl.

We're about half way thru our summer book talks in the R&D Store MASS MoCA How is that possible? This Sunday, drop-in and meet author Elizabeth Margulis, director of the Music Cognition Lab at Princeton.

Her new book Transported makes a powerful case for music as one of the last spaces where the mind is still free to wander—and reminds us that these wanderings are more meaningful and more important to our individual and collective well-being than we’ve ever realized.

Just in time for Solid Sound, the Research & Development Store’s first gallery exhibition “50 Years of PUNK” opens tomorrow, June 26!

At the heart of 50 Years of PUNK is a suite of eleven signed and numbered silk screens produced by Gary Lichtenstein Editions. These works reimagine and revive original stills from PUNK Magazine, transforming the publication’s playful, subversive art and photography into bold, large-scale, and collectible fine art screen prints.

Come experience the rebellious energy, humor, and artistic innovation that made PUNK Magazine a defining force in contemporary culture, and take a piece of history home with you!
