Arion Press Artist Talk: Marlon James and Vincent Valdez
Join artist Vincent Valdez and acclaimed novelist Marlon James on Monday, October 16 for a wide-ranging conversation that will center on Arion Press’s forthcoming edition of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five. In 2023, Valdez collaborated with Arion’s team of expert craftspeople to create original pen-and-ink drawings that bring Vonnegut’s darkly comic anti-war classic to life for Arion’s 2023 rendition of the novel. Their conversation exploring the enduring relevance of Vonnegut’s masterpiece will be moderated by Arion’s Executive Director Rolph Blythe.
The Arion Artist Talks are a series of events made possible by the generous support of Agnes Gund.
