It focuses on work by artists of color, particularly African American authors and artists, as well as comics with a primary character who is Black. Pocket Con also features work in the comic genre by other underrepresented groups, such as women, Latinos, LGBTQs, and other minorities. We have a strong belief in Indie comics and publishing, and welcome small press and self published authors as well as those involved in related forms of expression and interest, such as webcomics, animation, small-budget film-making, video game design, and zines. Our mission for this event is primarily to promote literacy using the graphic novel format, reflect on the history of race and gender portrayal in comics and film, and introduce characters, writers and authors who have a different voice than the primarily white, primarily male, primarily straight characters written by generations of comic authors (themselves primarily white, straight, and male). We would also like to empower young writers and artists by introducing them to the collaborative process that is comic creation, and encourage them to produce and submit work of their own for contests at the con.” Visit Site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab16860f2e6b108b9c55372/1532461190742-PR2JLMKHTUUSN8EOVTLG/GameStop.png Partners - Gamestop in Rogers Park Our Local Gamestop’s General Manager of Store #1568 has volunteered his time to connect with our teens, that have served as patrons for years, by performing workshops to help build their skills in community service, buyers awareness, and the responsibilities of the various job positions of Gamestop Employees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab16860f2e6b108b9c55372/1532455436917-WMO45258A6SZXOBO2IDI/rogers+park+chamber+of+commerce.jpg Partners - Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce “Our Mission is to provide leadership and representation in order to benefit the members operating businesses in the Rogers Park community.
