BROADSIDES
We are excited to introduce a new program committed to publishing broadsides created in collaboration with contemporary artists, writers, and thinkers. This tradition has a long history during which studios like ours have published broadsides by artists and intellectuals that address the social ideas and issues of their time.
Each broadside will be printed by hand in a limited edition and sold at an affordable price in keeping with our desire for wide circulation and inclusion. We believe that broadsides are a way to couple our desire to make lasting works of art with our social commitment to engage in the issues of our day when we can.
OUR COLLABORATORS
Our inaugural cohort of broadside collaborators are visual artist Millie Chen and poets Tyrone Williams and Ten Thousand. As the broadsides are produced throughout the year, we will update this page with information about our collaborators and the prints we make with them.
