In conjunction with the exhibition "Pressing Politics: Revolutionary Graphics from Mexico and Germany," on view from October 29, 2022 through July 22, 2023, LACMA and the Association of Print Scholars are pleased to convene a one-day symposium exploring the role of graphic art during periods of political transformation. The symposium will bring together scholars, curators, and conservators to examine the exhibition’s themes in a broader geographical and temporal context.


ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
"Pressing Politics: Revolutionary Graphics from Mexico and Germany" explores the shared subjects and visual strategies of two key moments in 20th-century political printmaking: the revival of German Expressionist graphics in response to a nationwide revolution in 1918, and the formation of the Taller de Gráfica Popular (People’s Print Workshop) in Mexico City in the late 1930s. Although rooted in distinct social and historical contexts, artists in both countries responded to their respective upheavals in print to communicate to a mass audience in forceful visual terms.

Examining direct and indirect points of exchange, "Pressing Politics" considers the iconographic precedents for these artists’ political imagery, the range of printed works they produced, and the conditions that gave rise to their art. Drawn primarily from LACMA’s collection, the exhibition underscores the enduring power of the printed image and highlights the contributions of Mexican and German artists to a global iconography of political graphics.


ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
The one-day convening will be held on April 29, 2023, at LACMA’s satellite gallery at Charles White Elementary School and will build on themes presented in "Pressing Politics: Revolutionary Graphics from Mexico and Germany." Expanding beyond Germany and Mexico, the symposium will consider the role of print media during times of revolution and social change from a global perspective in the 20th and 21st centuries. It will also explore questions related to the materials and processes of print production in these contexts. Proposals beyond the exhibition’s geographic scope are encouraged.

Topics may include, but are not limited to the following:
- The role of transnational political networks in the development of political graphics.
- The impact of the materiality of political prints on their meaning and reception.
- How digital technologies have transformed the material character and function of political graphics.
- The role of art collectives in graphic activism.
- The conservation of political graphics and ephemera, in particular the challenges of preserving modern political graphics and other ephemeral works on paper.

Proposed talks can also discuss graphics created in time-based or born-digital media.

Please send a 300-word abstract and a CV to events@printscholars.org by December 16, 2022. Notifications will be emailed in early to mid-January 2023. Funds for travel assistance will be available.

The exhibition is made possible with support from the Getty Foundation through The Paper Project initiative. Additional support for the symposium is provided by the IFPDA Foundation and the Robert Gore Rifkind Foundation.

The Menil Drawing Institute in Houston, Texas offers a residential fellowship program as a part of its mission to become a major research center on modern and contemporary drawing. The program fosters the highest level of scholarship and makes possible rich, interdisciplinary, object-based conversations on the drawing medium’s history, theory, criticism, and practice.

Fellows receive a stipend to cover living and other expenses incurred during the fellowship, and they are housed in a fully furnished apartment within a recently refurbished historic bungalow on the Menil campus. They are also assigned a workspace at the Drawing Institute to use for the duration of the fellowship and have access to the collections and archives, the staff and library at the Menil, as well as to local institutional libraries.

We are currently requesting applications for the Menil Drawing Institute Pre-Doctoral Fellowship for the 2023-2024 academic year. Applications are due to mdi@menil.org by December 16, 2022; all applicants will be notified of the Menil’s decision by late January 2023.

The HASTAC Scholars program is an innovative student-driven community of graduate and undergraduate students. This year, scholars will be participating in the program via HASTAC Commons. The 2022 - 2024 cohort will be the first to operate entirely via the new site! Because the site migration to Humanities Commons is complete, no new sign-ups are being accepted on HASTAC.org from this point on.

Each year, around 100 new Scholars are accepted into a new 2-year cohort of the program. HASTAC Scholars come from dozens of disciplines and have been sponsored by over 200 colleges and universities ranging from small liberal arts colleges to large research universities.

New HASTAC Scholars will contribute to building a community that works at the intersection of technology and the arts, humanities, and sciences. HASTAC Scholars host online forums, organize collaborative book reviews, write blog posts, share their research and interests on scholar spotlight, participate in Digital Fridays (now Commons Fridays!), and much more. Selected HASTAC Scholars will participate in the program from December 2022 to December 2024.
