BACKGROUND
Founded in 2019 by book artist/printmaker/educator Tia Blassingame, the Book/Print Artist/Scholar of Color Collective, brings Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) book artists, papermakers, curators, letterpress printers, printmakers into conversation and collaboration with Book History and Print Culture scholars to build community, support systems.

If you donated to our previous member project grants fundraiser, you helped support the six projects that received grants Spring 2022:

Alisa Banks (top left): Archived Books is a collection of models containing ephemera from previous projects.

Ashley Doughty (top right): Namesake will contain stories, comparisons, and connections between the artist's father, father-in-law, and son.

Colette Gaiter (center left): Graphic Terms for the Revolutionary Artist is an homage to obsolete methods of typesetting and mechanical layout preparation—processes on paper manipulated by hand and the remarkable men and women of the Black Panther Party.

Radha Pandey (center right): Flora of Mughal India addresses the two very different ways of seeing and treating nature that emerged with colonial rule, specifically how colonial interests in the commercialization of plants impacted floral portraiture in the Mughal miniature tradition.

Steph Rue (bottom left): Hanji Edition: Limited Edition Print is a planned collaboration between Hanji Edition, a publisher of limited edition works featuring hanji (Korean handmade paper) and a Korean American artist to produce a limited edition print on hanji.

Skye Tafoya (bottom right): The Grandma in Indigenous highlights the importance of cultural sharing, such as art, craft, knowledge, storytelling, skillsets that many grandmothers gift to their communities and families.

If you can not donate, consider sharing this fundraiser within your networks. Sharing is caring.
