Woodrow Phoenix will be dropping in at London’s Cartoon Museum tonight (Thursday 12th May 2016) to talk about his giant graphic novel, She Lives, Dr Monica Walker will be giving spotlight talks on highlights from the Museum’s collection and co-curator Dr Paul Williams will be discussing the exhibition.

There’ll be a bar serving drinks, and workshops throughout the night upstairs in the Young Artists’ Gallery. The Museum’s brand new app – SMARTIFY – will also be available to trial, providing commentary on select pieces from the new exhibition from the artists themselves.

Finally, the shop will be open all night so if you like the look of a work on display, you can take the graphic novel home with you.
