We recently said farewell to artist-in-residence J We recently said farewell to artist-in-residence Jo Locke @jolockeart who joined WSW for our Art-in-Ed Workspace Residency. While onsite, Locke made denim and Abaca handmade paper, using pulp to screenprint images onto them, then wet stretching the sheets over magnetic wooden frames. They also pulled some large-scale sheets of paper and played with embedding objects.

Locke is an interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY, working across papermaking, printmaking, movement-improvisation, and sculptural collage. Their practice blends craft techniques with assemblage using found objects and digital remnants to probe the shifting boundaries between physical and virtual life. Their work conceptually explores the Illusion of Progress: an investigation into how digital socialization has rewired the ways we connect, move, and inhabit space. To learn more about Locke’s practice, visit jolocke.com.

Thank you to everyone who participated in “Broadca Thank you to everyone who participated in “Broadcast Now: publishing as a tool of survival during fascism and genocide” hosted by artist, abolitionist, and storyteller Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo @bluekaza! It was an incredibly informative weekend and was exciting to have new folks entering our space.

Participants learned about the use of leaflets as a dissemination tactic during the dictatorship in Chile, the Black Panther newspaper printed in Oakland, CA and mailed nationally, and the Detroit Printing Co-op’s role in making printshops a space for collective use.

Inspired by the long legacy of the printed multiple shaping liberation movements, participants crafted collective and individual banners and posters using screenprinting, creative writing, xerox, and risograph printing.

We recently said farewell to artist-in-residence J We recently said farewell to artist-in-residence Jo Locke @jolockeart who joined WSW for our Art-in-Ed Workspace Residency. While onsite, Locke made denim and Abaca handmade paper, using pulp to screenprint images onto them, then wet stretching the sheets over magnetic wooden frames. They also pulled some large-scale sheets of paper and played with embedding objects.

Locke is an interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY, working across papermaking, printmaking, movement-improvisation, and sculptural collage. Their practice blends craft techniques with assemblage using found objects and digital remnants to probe the shifting boundaries between physical and virtual life. Their work conceptually explores the Illusion of Progress: an investigation into how digital socialization has rewired the ways we connect, move, and inhabit space.

Thank you to everyone who participated in “Broadca Thank you to everyone who participated in “Broadcast Now: publishing as a tool of survival during fascism and genocide” hosted by artist, abolitionist, and storyteller Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo @bluekaza! It was an incredibly informative weekend and was exciting to have new folks entering our space.

Participants learned about the use of leaflets as a dissemination tactic during the dictatorship in Chile, the Black Panther newspaper printed in Oakland, CA and mailed nationally, and the Detroit Printing Co-op’s role in making printshops a space for collective use.

Inspired by the long legacy of the printed multiple shaping liberation movements, participants crafted collective and individual banners and posters using screenprinting, creative writing, xerox, and risograph printing.
