Seth Tobocman's  War in the Neighborhood  remains one of the most relevant graphic novels exploring housing and community issues. Called a "masterpiece of gentrification" and "the comic book version of Rent,"  War in the Neighborhood  is a riveting first-hand account of radical neighborhood transformations in late 80's and early 90's New York.  With nuance and candor, Tobocman tells the tales of courageous communities built from rubble while exploring the moral complexities inherent in any movement, and the struggles against displacement that continue in varied forms today. To coincide with the republishing of this classic novel by Ad Asta Comix, Tobocman will lead an illustrated talk and multimedia presentation of his experiences, his art, and how the two intersect. Presented in partnership with the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation. 

Music by Eric Blitz, Andy Laties and Joe Merolla.
