This workshop will use the history of political printmaking as a platform to explore the nature of political imagery. With border artist and activist Celeste De Luna, students will develop imagery using guided imagining to create a visual vocabulary of images based on community cultural wealth that can be used again and again. Participants will create a woodcut relief print from this inventory. This workshop will be helpful to those who want to explore creative process collaboratively, interested in charged imagery, and ideas on how to use individual studio practice to benefit communities. Techniques covered will include image transfer techniques, mark making, registration, and inking techniques. Print exchange encouraged but not mandatory.
