This year’s MoCCA Festival is coming in a few weeks, April 1-2, with guests Gene Luen Yang, Blutch, Becky Cloonan and more. And the programming, curated by Bill Kartalopoulos, has just been released. You can see the full listings here , but the basic line-up is below. Programming takes place at Ink48 Hotel (653 11th Avenue at 48th street), a short, fresh-air affirming walk from the exhibits at Metropolitan West at 639 West 46th Street.
As always, it’s a fantastic schedule – I’ll be there for the Blutch and Modan talks for sure – seating is first come, first served, and the rooms are modest, so line-up early for popular programs!
