Against the Grain: Art Talk and Woodcut Workshop

History isn’t just written. Sometimes it’s carved.
Join artists Lavett Ballard and Didier William, master printer Alexis Nutini, and PAFA curator Michelle Donnelly for a conversation about identity, ancestry, and the power of printmaking.
Discover how Ballard and William use woodcut to explore Black diasporic experiences, memory, and migration. Then watch Nutini demonstrate the woodcut process and create a print of your own using pre-carved blocks and the vibrant inks featured in the artists’ PrintLab works.
No art experience is necessary!
