Creative Aging: Linoleum Prints

Wednesdays, September 17 & 24 | 1–4 pm | Free for artists 55+

Registration Required

This Creative Aging workshop at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts explores the exhibition and linoleum printmaking techniques. Join educators and fellow artists to carve your own linoleum block and experiment with various printmaking techniques to print a portfolio of images from your block!Adama Delphine Fawundu is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY of Mende, Bubi, Krim ancestry. She often uses experimental printmaking techniques in her work. The works in salt 17 were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Brazil, Nigeria, and Utah, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

All materials provided. This workshop is free for anyone 55+, registration is required. We know things come up, but please plan carefully so we can keep this programming free! Please do not reserve a ticket if you cannot attend.
