performances by:
* Eric Drooker
Eric Drooker is a painter and graphic novelist, born and raised on Manhattan Island. He's the award-winning author of Flood! A Novel in Pictures, and Blood Song. He designed the animation for the recent film, Howl, a movie based on the epic poem by Allen Ginsberg, who collaborated with Drooker on the book Illuminated Poems.
Drooker's work is also central to the imagery of social movements globally, from picket signs in the current Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City, to campaigns for food sovereignty, to iconic posters illustrating the historic protests against the WTO over the past decade.
