The (Printed) Matter of Black Arts Writing: Archives for the Future

Join The Black Embodiments Studio for The (Printed) Matter of Black Arts Writing: Archives for the Future, a panel discussion on the practice of collecting, preserving, and circulating Black arts writing ephemera. Featuring archivists and publishers of printed matter like flyers, zines, pamphlets, notebooks, and books, the program explores the significance of gathering around materials that are fragile and prone to disappearance—and reflects on what contemporary practices of preserving and circulating Black arts writing ephemera can tell us about the futures of the art world in general.

This is the second of two programs for Public Scholarship + Practice: Black Futures + Archives, a new series highlighting University of Washington-led research and practice at the intersections of visual art and culture.

The (Printed) Matter of Black Arts Writing: Archives for the Future is organized in collaboration with The Black Embodiments Studio.

Join us on Thursday, March 12th for the first program in the series, , organized in collaboration with the Black Digital Studies in the Age of Techno-Fascism working group at the University of Washington.
