Public Art Fund: Screenprinting with Mobile Print Power (Brooklyn Bridge Park)
Saturday, September 2nd, 2023 at 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Free
From Public Art Fund:
What borders did you cross to get here? Who benefits from borders? How do borders shift and change us and the Land we live in?
Explore these questions prompted by Nicholas Galanin’s In every language there is Land / En cada lengua hay una Tierra in a series of hands-on screenprinting sessions led by the Queens-based collective Mobile Print Power (MPP). Using their participatory design methodology and portable silkscreen printmaking carts, MPP will engage with communities in Corona Plaza, Queens, to co-create new graphic works based on participants’ experiences of borders across social, cultural, and political spaces.
On August 5 and 19 at Corona Plaza, MPP will invite participants to learn screenprinting and unpack the concept of borders through drawings and words. MPP will then integrate these responses into original screenprint designs, which will be used in the final workshop on September 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, where a wider audience will engage with participant-created designs from the initial two workshops.
No registration is needed. Audiences of all ages are encouraged to drop in!
