herstory/noun/ -- history viewed from a female or specifically feminist perspective with a special attention to the experience of women.
Join us for a special presentation by members of the Herstory Printmaking Collective, a collaborative artist group based in Albuquerque, NM that creates portrait murals of influential women who have impacted how we see and understand the world.
Using an accessible relief printmaking technique to make bold and compelling images printed onto newsprint for wheat pasting, Herstory has lead workshops, live printmaking demos, and installed murals in venues across the Southwest, including the Santa Fe Railyard, the Beehive Building in Mancos, University of New Mexico’s Masley Art Gallery, at the Southwest Printmaking Fiesta in Silver City, and on the mobile Axle Contemporary Gallery among other sites.
This fall, the Center of Southwest Studies will partner with Herstory Printmaking Collective to facilitate a printmaking workshop with Fort Lewis College Art & Design students, inspired by important women figures sourced from the Center’s archival and museum collections. The resulting portraits of “Women of the Southwest” will be installed in the Center for an ongoing exhibition.
