Jimmy Riordan recently received a grant to fund a series of collaborative art books with Pittsburgh-based artists. Riordan will present one of the final books and host a conversation on independent publishing.
Scrollino founders Ludmila & Sylvain Favardin are artists, authors, and founders of Edition Lidu. They will talk about the creative process and experiments that led to the invention of Scrollino® - the revolutionary rewinding book, as well as their own printing technique Scrollinography. Ludmila & Sylvain will also present the first Scrollino publications and introduce the creative possibilities of this new paper media that brings to life uninterrupted several feet-long images and stories.
Shortt Editions will present a reading of sign-based books about the art world.
Marcela Szwarc is hosting "Corrosive Femininities," which explores the radical act of being feminine under capitalism and the behaviors that either corrode feminine existence or add to the feminine identity through a corrosion of the physical self. The literary workshop will occur in two parts: an initial discussion portion and a journaling/poetry portion. Participants will submit what they write at the end to create a collaborative riso-printed zine. The workshop is inclusive to a variety of experiences, including women's, men's, trans-identifying, and LGBTQ people. Everyone is welcome. Paper and writing tools will be provided.
Marcela Szwarc will read a segment from killing the mountain god, a self-published art book. The book is about living in Iceland while experiencing heartbreak and physical health issues. Szwarc will also read a segment from PRAYERS OF SURRENDER, a zine about crossing the North Atlantic via ferry. It's an appeal to memory, love, nature, and self through the structure of prayers.
Undertone Collective will host "Price of Admission: Barriers for WoC/Femmes of Color Creatives,” a conversation with creative women of color/femmes of color on the cost of creativity. Topics covered will include a range from emotional labor, financial status, classism, elitism, romanticism of brokenness, structural barriers, and more.
