Food for Talk is a book club for anyone interested in cooking! Instructions on how to join this community of home cooks and fellow culinary travelers can be found after the description of this month's cookbook. If reading about food, experimenting with new recipes and learning from other cooks sounds fun, sign up and join us on the second Sunday of every month at 3pm! Locations vary. This month: Turtle Island: Foods and Traditions of the Indigenous Peoples of North America by Sean Sherman Please register with Barbara Shatara at bshatara@burlingtonvt.gov About this month's cookbook: Turtle Island by Sean Sherman Growing up on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation, Oglala Lakota chef Sean Sherman understood that his people’s food was rich in flavor, heritage, and connection to the land. It was in the midst of a successful restaurant career mainly cooking European cuisines that he realized the lack of understanding about Native American foodways—a revelation that sent him on a journey to learn more about how Indigenous communities have preserved and evolved their cuisines through the centuries. Now a leading figure in the Indigenous food movement, he shares in Turtle Island the unique and diverse Native foodways of North America through both traditional and modern recipes made with ingredients that have nourished Indigenous peoples physically, spiritually, and culturally for generations. Organized by region, this book delves into the rich culinary landscapes of Turtle Island—as many Indigenous cultures call this continent. Learn to eat with the seasons, consume meat and fish nose-to-tail, focus on plant-forward dishes, and discover how to better feed yourself. Alongside delicious recipes like Smoked Bison Ribeye, Wild-Rice Crusted Walleye Cakes, Charred Rainbow Trout with Grilled Ramps, Sweet Potato Soup with Dried Venison and Chile Oil, Sunflower Seed “Risotto,” and Sweet Corn Pudding with Woodland Berry Sauce (and so much more), you’ll see the inspiring Indigenous food scene through Sean’s eyes. Exemplifying how Native foodways can teach us all to connect with the natural world around us, Turtle Island features rich narrative histories and spotlights the communities producing, gathering, and cooking these foods, including remarkable stories of ingenuity and adaptation that capture the resilience of Indigenous communities. How to Join: It's as easy as 1, 2, 3... 1. Register with Barbara Shatara bshatara@burlingtonvt.gov 2. Pick up a copy of the book from the Library's Main Desk. 3. Read it, make a dish (not required though) and bring it to the discussion at 3 pm. Location: Fletcher Room.

Join us for a full day of drawing workshops for kids with cartoonists from all over the country in the Youth Area... Make an Autobiographical Comic! 11:30am - 12:15pm Instructor: Jonathan Todd Jonathan Todd, the author/illustrator of the kids graphic novel Timid (Scholastic/Graphix), will present a step-by-step way that you can make a comic about something that really happened to you. Planning steps will include writing a short prose version of a true story. If there is time, we’ll share our comics with the other cartoonists who participate in this workshop. Draw Anything and Everything! 12:30pm - 1:15pm Instructor: James Kochalka Learn how to draw anything and everything with Vermont’s first Cartoonist Laureate, James Kochalka. Draw with the Eisner winning creator of Johnny Boo and Gentle Observation (in Seven Days each week). Let's Time Travel with Non-Fiction Comics! 1:30pm - 2:15pm Instructor: Alexandra Gallant-Lee Let's Time Travel with Non-Fiction Comics, how you can use comics to tell stories that span a second, a minute, a year or a lifetime through the power of storytelling. We'll look at different comics that travel through time over the course of a panel, a page and an entire comic and then make our own time travel comics using some common comics formats such as four panel gag and eight panel mini-comic. SPLAT, SPLUT, SPLOCK: Making Comics Make Noise 2:30pm - 3:15pm Instructor: Jon Chad One of the greatest effects in comics is its ability to recreate the sensation of noise through sound effects. Sound effects can help strengthen the sense of place in your comic, can help communicate what's going on to the reader, and are also a ton of fun to draw. In this workshop, cartoonist Jon Chad will lead participants in some activities to help make their sound effects as squishy, explode-y, splashy, or zappy as they can possibly be! Cartooning Lessons: Telling Our Stories Using the Language of Comics 3:30pm - 4:15pm Instructor: Mike Dawson Award-winning creator Mike Dawson will walk young and aspiring cartoonists through every stage of the comics-making process. Warm-up with doodles, then practice telling stories using visual language, experiment with the ways adding text changes the meaning of our images, then finally revise, edit, and share what we’ve made. No drawing skills necessary! ⭐ Kids & Teens! ⭐ For more info about the Festival: https://www.nonfictioncomicsfest.org/ Volunteer for Non-Fiction Comic Festival: https://fletcherfree.libcal.com/event/15613626 Location: Youth Area, Main Library.

An Introductory Workshop 3:00pm - 4:00pm Instructors: Rivi Handler-Spitz, Audra McNamee, Luis Vivanco Although comics have long been a focus of scholarly inquiry, researchers have recently been integrating comics creation into the scholarly research process itself through “Comics-Based Research."

No artistic experience required—just a little curiosity and a willingness to play! All materials will be provided, so come ready to create, experiment, and have fun. Educators will leave with their own handmade zines, practical ideas, and easy-to-adapt activities they can bring straight into their classrooms, regardless of grade level or teaching discipline. Because sometimes, the biggest ideas come in the smallest packages! ⭐ Teens & Adults! ⭐ https://www.nonfictioncomicsfest.org/ Volunteer for Non-Fiction Comic Festival: https://fletcherfree.libcal.com/event/15613626 Location: Fletcher Room, Main Library.

Join us for a full day of panel discussions and workshops with cartoonists from all over the country who create publications on nonfiction topics. In the Pickering Room, check out the following panel discussions... From Panel to Print: Comics Construction and Distribution 11:30am - 12:30pm Panelists: Christine Tyler Hill, Isabella Rotman, Shay Mirk, Unfolding Connections Moderator: Rachel Bivens How do you get an idea from your head into the eyes of the public? Is social media a useful tool or frustrating necessity? Is there value in the physical form of a comic? This panel will explore the individual processes comic artists use to create their comics as well as various venues they utilize to showcase their work. Drawing on Folklore 12:45pm - 1:45pm Panelists: Daryl Seitchik, Kristen Shull, Emily Zea, Ben Wickey Moderator: Dr. Isaac Cates Vampires, elves, and dragons aren’t real. But if an imaginary figure is shared broadly enough — if it becomes folklore — it may dwell in our knowledge almost like history, accessible in the culture’s deep knowledge. How do these shared figments support the “nonfiction” of a new fantasy world, even in the cases when they can be traced back to a known author? Laughing with Trauma 2:00pm - 3:00pm Panelists: Gemma Correll, Dave Horowitz, Alex Graudins, Alex Nem Moderator: MK Czerwiec From illness to accident, from breakups to breakdowns, trauma comes in many forms. This panel considers comics, humor, and trauma. Can comics about trauma help us cope? If so, how does that work? When is and isn’t it appropriate to use humor to help us cope? Artists Dave Horowitz, Gemma Correll, Alex Graudins, Alex Nem, and MK Czerwiec will discuss. Researching Comics: History and Current Events on a Paneled Page 3:15pm - 4:15pm Panelists: Katy Doughty, Camila Kerwin, Caitlin McGurk, Hazel Newlevant Moderator: Marek Bennett How & why do artists work with historical materials? What can we draw from primary sources & archives, and what does it mean to artists & readers in the present moment? Love, Culture, and History 4:30pm - 5:30pm Panelists: Sanika Phawde, Stephanie Stalvey, Tillie Walden Moderator: Holly Painter Love, weddings, and romance may be tales as old as time, but a couple’s historical and cultural context will undoubtedly shape their joined story. What unique challenges will be placed on the characters in these three distinctly romantic tales based on when and where they were set? https://www.nonfictioncomicsfest.org/ Volunteer for Non-Fiction Comic Festival: https://fletcherfree.libcal.com/event/15613626 Location: Pickering Room, Main Library.
