An Evening with Michael Workman: Readings from Biography of a Villain + Short Animations
Saturday, November 29 at 7pm

We’re excited to welcome artist, writer, and publisher Michael Workman for a special evening of readings, screenings, and conversation at Howling Pages. The event will feature selections from their recently published graphic novel, Biography of a Villain, accompanied by a slideshow and screening of short animations. Guests may also have the chance to view original page art and paintings from the project. Additional guest readers may be announced soon.

Biography of a Villain, released in August 2025 by Bridge Books imprint Hurm Edition’s artist’s folio series, is a new graphic novel that interrogates the aesthetics of power, complicity, and cultural memory. Combining drawing, painting, and experimental narrative structures, the work expands on Workman’s longstanding artistic investigations into identity, resilience, and impermanence. The book reflects their interdisciplinary practice, which crosses between visual art, performance, and critical writing.

Michael Workman is the Executive Director of Bridge. Their work has been presented in museums, performance venues, and literary journals nationally and internationally. In addition to their artistic practice, they are a publisher, curator, and cultural organizer, dedicated to advancing experimental voices in literature and the arts.

This event is free and open to the public. Beverages will be provided.
