Lecture: “Women Activist Publishers”, History of Art Series: Women in Publishing #WIP
Women in Publishing (#WIP) is the focus for the 2019 History of Art series at the Center for Book Arts.
The Center for Book Arts will be hosting three lively discussions in which leading scholars, publishers, artists and activists will explore women’s contributions to Western book history from the Renaissance to the present. Collectively, these women are rewriting the dominant patriarchal narrative of book history, placing women’s contributions to printing and publishing at the fore. Their work demonstrates that the history of Women in Publishing is truly a Work in Progress (#WIP). Through the series, the Center for Book Arts hopes to encourage further action toward a more inclusive history by recognizing and sharing under-recognized histories, voices, viewpoints and practices. The series is moderated by Sarah Kirk Hanley, independent scholar and critic in fine prints, multiples and artists’ books.
"Women Activist Publishers"
Friday, February 22, 6:30 pm / Opening Reception 8-10 pm
Guests: Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, Kimi Hanauer, Soledad Salamé, Felice Tebbe
With the feminist movement of the '60s and ‘70s, a critical mass of women began to speak truth to power in published artworks--their ranks have only grown since. Join us to discuss this history with women who are now (and have been) influencers in this arena.
The Center for Book Arts is located at 28 West 27th Street, 3rd Floor. New York, NY 10001.
