SUMMARY:Kirkby Gallery: IB18: Kirkby Gallery: Cath Garvey: Girl Comics
DESCRIPTION:Cath Garvey\, Girl Comics\, Kirkby Gallery\n\nUnder the backdro
 p of an exhibition of comics by Cath Garvey\, the artist will lead a serie
 s of workshops focussed on making the comic book world more female focusse
 d. Inviting the young people of Knowsley to Kirkby Gallery\, the artist wi
 ll create new work\, and lead others to design new characters\, storylines
  and publications for exhibition in the town’s library.\n\nThe comic ind
 ustry is still male dominant and very biased towards men in both fiction a
 nd reality. Cath Garvey’s workshops aim to open options for young artist
 s\, and remind them that comic books aren’t just for boys\, while teachi
 ng them the basics about comics and present self-publishing.\n\nGirl Comic
 s will teach the basics of character creation\, with a goal. ‘Bin Juice
 ’\, ‘Babe’ and words that define childhood in Knowsley underpin the 
 workshops\, building characters from familiar prompts\, whether they come 
 from the depths of their creators minds\, or their own personal stories\, 
 the products will be outlandishly Knowsley\, and inarguably unique.\n\nBoy
 s are welcome\, but the workshops are about female characters.\n\nSplit in
 to two sessions (repeating over the first weeks of the festival)\, the pro
 ject reflects Independents Biennial’s outlook\, showing artists at work\
 , and demonstrating the active life of the arts in the region. Session one
  focusses on character creation. Session two will see participants produce
  their own comic\, to take home\, and keep on display in the library for e
 veryone to read.\n\nAt the end of the workshops\, we’ll be publishing so
 me of the comics in this very newspaper’s September issue.\n\nIf you’r
 e looking to join in workshops\, check the website for full dates in July\
 , and find the exhibition just a two minute walk from Kirkby Bus Station.
