Primahood: Drawings and Comics by Tyler Cohen

Center for Sex & Culture is happy to announce the exhibition Primahood: Drawings and Comics by Tyler Cohen. Known for exquisite line drawings that delve into the female experience, Tyler’s comics examine her life and the issues on her mind including bisexual visibility, parenthood, race and intersectional feminism all with a biting critique and humor.

Tyler Cohen’s comics have appeared online in PEN America/PEN Illustrated and MuthaMagazine.com and in numerous books including QU33R (Northwest Press), Alphabet (Stacked Deck Press), The Feminist Utopia Project (Feminist Press) and was 2012 Artist-in-Residence at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. Her newest book, Primahood: Magenta (Stacked Deck, 2016), unites two bodies of her work; Mamapants is full of conversations and observations leaving space to wonder and giggle, and Primazonia allows the viewer to spy into their world to flesh out disturbing scenarios that eerily resemble the everyday.

At the artist’s reception on April 13th, there will be a reading nook displaying some of our library’s scrumptious & outspoken queer comics and zines as we welcome the public plus guests from the Queers & Comics Conference held at California College of Art.
