In connection with the exhibition Drug Addiction: Real People, Real Stories in the Beard + Weil Galleries, author/illustrator Jarrett Krosoczka will share his graphic novel, Hey, Kiddo, a profoundly important graphic memoir about growing up in a family grappling with addiction and finding the art that helps you survive.

Poets and co-hosts of the podcast The Ritter read from their work, discuss their podcast, their decision to enroll the podcast in a VC Accelerator, and how they’ve been translating their academic training into a marketable foundation for running their podcast.  A brief Q&A session will be included in this event.
