John Ridley: Superheroes and Representation, Moderated by Troy Pryor, Streams Live on July 7th | Chaz’s Journal


Ridley will discuss the importance of comic books as a medium for expression and affirmation; the role of literature in forming our perceptions about who we are; and the superhero characters that he’s brought to life on the page. His other notable credits as a director, novelist, playwright and showrunner include “Let it Fall: Los Angeles 1982-1992,” “American Crime” and “All is By My Side.” Nō Studios, an arts and community space, was opened by Ridley in 2018 in his hometown of Milwaukee, WI.
