Nothing is louder than print on paper

Ben Blount, Kadin Henningsen, and Kitty Koppelman–these printmakers don’t just think it, they print it.

Through their print work, each of these artists expresses love of community and a vision for a more just world. How can we speak up and speak out? How can we join together without coming apart? Each artist will share from their body of work and take questions afterward.

Moderated by Catherine Alice Michaelis.
