Celebration: Pride in Panels - Graphic Content: Queer Erotic Comics
Channel: San Francisco Public Library
Date: 13/03/2024

Pride in Panels: SF Queer Comics Festival was a groundbreaking, inaugural showcase of San Francisco Bay Area LGBTQIA+ queer comics creators on February 18, 2024 at the Main Library of San Francisco Public Library that celebrated the remarkable vitality of the San Francisco Bay Area queer comics scene through riveting panels, maker workshops and an exhibition hall of over 100 LGBTQIA+ cartoonists in a 100% free event for all.

How have queer comics handled sex, sexuality, and desire, both in erotic stories and ones that simply include graphic content? Why and how are we making this work, and who is it for? Join moderator Justin Hall (Hard to Swallow) and panelists Trinidad Escobar (Arrive in My Hands), Jon Macy (Fearful Hunter), MariNaomi (I Thought You Loved Me), and Leah Spears (Polyamory Coloring Book) as they discuss the challenges and opportunities of representing sex in their work, how far representation has come in erotica, and where it’s all headed. This panel will contain graphic language and imagery.
