Treewhispers
Treewhispers is an ongoing international collaboration that celebrates the connection between trees and humanity through handmade paper and artistic exploration. Participants contribute handmade paper rounds with personal memories, poems, images of tree rings, leaves or their beloved trees. These rounds, bound with bookbinding thread, form paper columns and create an ever-evolving forest of paper. As the project travels, it grows with new stories, new voices, and a collective reverence for nature.
Amos Kennedy - Citizen Printer
A self-described “humble negro printer,” Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr. is internationally recognized for his type-driven messages of social justice and Black power, emblazoned in rhythmically layered and boldly inked prints made for the masses. This event will celebrate the publishing of Kennedy’s monograph, Citizen Printer, from the Letterform Archive, with an author signing, an exhibition, and posters for sale at the event.
