It has been said that there are no new stories, only new ways to tell them. LACMA's current exhibition, Heroes and Villains: The Battle for Good in India's Comics, examines just that, how the archetypal and the traditional surface in modern storytelling. The show zooms in on the contemporary Indian comic book to reveal that ancient narratives and visuals lie at the heart of the artform. Thursday night, exhibition curator Julie Romain will present an introductory lecture on the contemporary Indian comic, followed by a private tour of the exhibition.

Members $30; non-members $35
