Collaboration & Community in Print

Printmaking as a medium has always been closely connected to activism, collaboration and public engagement. Its reproducibility naturally makes art more accessible, and a powerful tool for political messaging and social change. This studio course will introduce various forms of printmaking, including screenprinting, risograph, relief and letterpress. Students will participate in discussions about printmaking as a form of social practice throughout history, as well as explore its place in contemporary art, and the current moment of fast and ever-changing technologies. Alongside studio work and reading discussions, there will be field trips and opportunities for collaboration with local partner organizations.
