NEW YORK - Nyenta -- The Children's Art Carnival (CAC), a trailblazing Harlem-based not-for-profit dedicated to fostering cultural and artistic development, proudly announces a captivating celebration of Black History Month. Renowned CAC Alumni Teaching Artist and Afrofuturist visionary Tim Fielder brings to life W.E.B. Du Bois' seminal 1920 short story 'The Comet' through a groundbreaking graphic novel adaptation. Du Bois, a pioneer of Afrofuturism, crafted 'The Comet' as one of the first narratives within this genre, addressing themes of racism and religion. Influenced by his experiences in Germany, Du Bois's work laid the groundwork for future contributions to the civil rights movement.
The three-event series, presented by Dieselfunk Studios in collaboration with Carnegie Hall's 'Fall of the Weimar Republic: Dancing on the Precipice' Festival, marks an exciting partnership. Michael Unthank, CAC's interim chair of the Board of Trustees, expresses enthusiasm: "We're excited to continue this great collaboration with Tim Fielder. His adaptation of Du Bois' story is captivating and comes at the perfect time. As a Carnival veteran, we welcome Tim back again and value this opportunity to continue a great partnership with Carnegie Hall."

Tim Fielder, an accomplished Illustrator, concept designer, cartoonist, and animator, brings a rich background of Afrofuturism, pulp entertainment, and action films to his work. His notable graphic novels include 'INFINITUM: An Afrofuturist Tale,' 'Matty's Rocket' (Glyph Award winner), and 'The Graphic History of Hip Hop.' Fielder's involvement in prestigious exhibits such as Carnegie Hall's Afrofuturism Festival and The Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture's 'AFROFUTURISM: A History of Black Futures' underscores his impactful contributions. "The Comet Cometh," Fielder states, "I was compelled to produce a faithful yet expansive graphic novel adaptation of this intellectual powerhouse's seminal science fiction story, 'The Comet.' Uniquely, my learning at CAC was instrumental to my development since they hold a powerful history as a direct and indirect proving ground for many cartoonists of color."
