The “With Preach Jacobs: One on One Conversation Series” is an ongoing effort to bring together black artists and activists in discussion in Columbia. A program on February 26 will unite comic book artist Sanford Greene with Councilwoman Tameika Isaac Devine, moderated by artist and journalist Preach Jacobs. SC Humanities supported this program with a Mini Grant.
“With Preach Jacobs: One on One Conversation Series” will take place at Trustus Theatre in Columbia on Friday, February 26 at 8:00 p.m. There will be some in-person capacity (25%), and the event will also stream online. The purpose of the One-on-One Conversation Series programming is to carve otu space in the Columbia arts scene for black voices, thoughts, and dreams to be heard. The series will bring together seemingly contrasting guests to engage in conversations about Black life in South Carolina.
The February 26th program will feature Sanford Greene in conversation with Councilwoman Tameika Isaac Devine.
Sanford Greene has worked professionally in comic illustration and related industries for over 15 years, including work for mainline publishers such as Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, and Image Comics. Recent work includes the hit Marvel series Power Man and Iron Fist as well as covers for Black Panther and Luke Cage. He currently works on his creator-owned online comic series for Line Webtoon, 1000, and the anticipated Bitter Root, a dark fantasy/action ongoing series published by Image Comics and set during the Harlem Renaissance.
