All that JAJ

Join us for a celebration of the release of the new Haida manga JAJ, written and illustrated by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas. The evening, hosted by the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival, will feature an entertaining and thought-provoking conversation between Michael and Dr. Nicola Levell.

JAJ tells the story of an encounter between the author’s Haida ancestors and Johan Adrian Jacobsen, a Norwegian explorer sent to the West Coast in 1881 to collect artifacts for a museum in Germany. There will be opportunities to meet the author, purchase the new book, and ask your own questions about his work!
