Eric Drooker
Renowned artist and graphic novelist Eric Drooker will present a multimedia slide lecture exploring the changing landscape of the modern city—its architecture, its people, and the forces that shape urban life today. Drawing from his decades of work chronicling city streets and social movements, Drooker will reflect on the tension between art and survival, asking: Is it still possible for an artist to survive in the 21st century? Best known for his many New Yorker covers and his collaborations with poet Allen Ginsberg, Drooker combines striking visual imagery with social commentary and personal insight. His latest book, NAKED CITY: A Graphic Novel, offers a powerful meditation on contemporary urban experience, rendered in his signature, expressionistic style.
