From the 1st September until the 12th October, Berwick and Hexham libraries will be hosting a free touring exhibition called, Make Mine Manga.
Make Mine Manga is a free exhibition for anyone curious about manga as well as the avid fan. It explores the origins of Manga in Japan, the creative techniques behind the art and the wonder of Manga-Anime. The exhibition features artwork from incredible creators from Japan as well as today’s generation of award-winning British talents making manga in their own way as part of a truly global comic language. The exhibition has been specially created by Paul Gravett; the curator of comic exhibitions across the UK including the British Museum and the Barbican Centre and the author of numerous books about comics and their creators, including ‘Manga: 60 Years Of Japanese Comics’.
Library staff will be trained in all aspects of Manga, and we will also be providing a session for School Librarians on how to promote and recommend Manga to their pupils. Further details to follow.
