This focused exhibition celebrates the PrintLab Artist Residency (2025–26) at Brandywine Workshop and Archives (BWA) in Philadelphia. An expansion of BWA’s Visiting Artist Residency Program, PrintLab enabled eight interdisciplinary artists to push the boundaries of printmaking. Working with collaborative printers Justine Ditto and Alexis Nutini, artists experimented with both traditional printmaking techniques and emerging technologies, including photolithography, woodcut, CNC routing, laser cutting, phototransfer, and animation. With rigorous attention to scale, color, materials, and layering, they explored themes of ancestry and memory, identity and mythology, diaspora and survival. By placing finished prints alongside working materials, Proof Testing illuminates how PrintLab served as an incubator for experimentation and innovation.

Proof Testing is organized in partnership with Brandywine Workshop and Archives. A concurrent exhibition, PrintLab: Material Futures, is on view at BWA June 18–October 26, 2026.
