Since 2016, Our Comics, Ourselves has exhibited in four locations in New York, Connecticut, and Virginia, and we’re always interested to visit new communities.
We work collaboratively with host venues to curate content that will resonate with your community and location. Depending on your capacity and your budget, we can work with you to install the exhibition, to promote and publicize, and to produce engaging, well-attended community events and public programs that attract new audiences.
To bring the Our Comics, Ourselves to your community, please contact us at ourcomicsourselves [AT] gmail [DOT] com.
Exhibition Components
Between 50-300 objects, which can be tailored to accommodate a range of exhibition spaces. Exhibition components include:
- Comic books, zines, and archival newspapers in ready-to-hang mylar sleeves
- Graphic novels to be placed within glass cases, shelves, or as open stacks reading material
- An iPad with a wall and/or table-mountable security case that displays scanned interiors of select comics on display
- Original and reproduced poster-sized comics
- An exhibition catalog
- Low tack vinyl adhesive pull quotes from some of our guest curators, to be applied directly to the walls
Space & Time Requirements
OCOS requires between 20-100 linear feet of hangable wall space, depending on the number of materials included. We prefer the exhibition to be open to public between 6-12 weeks, but will consider longer exhibition periods.
