Print as Object and Act in Radical and Alternative Publishing

Mon, Oct 21, 2019

6:30 PM–8:00 PM

The James Gallery

What role do printed materials themselves play in social movements and alternative publishing initiatives? What actually happens when you make a print, and what do flyers and zines do to us when we hold and read them? Join us for an evening of discussion considering these and other questions surrounding the powerful yet under explored social and experiential aspects of printed materials.

Continuing the explorations of Notes on Solidarity: Tricontinentalism in Print, this panel brings together artists and scholars whose work considers printed materials as both a site to act, and to be acted on. Speakers include Gilda Posada, former Curator of Galería de la Raza in San Francisco and Assistant Director for Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer; scholar of contemporary Latinx art Tatiana Reinoza Max Schumann, Executive Director of Printed Matter, Inc. The discussion will be moderated by Debra Lennard, student in the Graduate Center’s PhD Program in Art History, and curator of Notes on Solidarity: Tricontinentalism in Print.
