Turtel Onli, the founder of the growing Black Age of Comics genre / movement will be presenting an exhibition covering 30 plus years of living in the Black Age of Comics.
This unique ambitious exhibition links Onli's extensive line of limited edition Rhythmistic: Future-Primitif Graphic Novels and Comix with his advocacy of real diversity in terms of styles, source materials and concepts in this and related industries.
Beyond the shallow narratives of Race, Gender, or Class, many have ripped off or righteously benefited from brilliant boldness of the Black Age. Others have been inspired by its bold truths and innovative swag. Onli is its originator and more.
Onli has deftly manifested a line connecting openness, otherness, values, history, innovation, and standards that is rare in this world of corporate dominated derivative products and constrictive market dominance. He is often quoted for saying the Black Age of Comics is a nexus of creativity, culture and commerce. Stating that one does not have to be Black to get one's Black Age on. Sort of like eating and celebrating Mexican or Asian cuisines when those are not your culture or ethnicity.
This exciting and informative exhibition opens Jan. 26th in the Cafe' Gallery of the Logan Center For The Arts at 915 East 60th Street in Chicago. Per the University of Chicago. Closes on March 31st 2024.
