8. Strike While the Ink is hot Fall 2020, 2020, Risograph zine.
“Strike While the Ink is Hot is an online lecture + image workshop class that dove into the radical history of political printmaking and graphics focusing on BIPOC, women, queer artists & activists. The class is a choose your own adventure model: with students listening to recordings and meeting in person. Part lecture and workshare. As an educator, I focus on accessibility and dismantling structural inequity in the arts through donation-based art history+theory classes that I create original curriculums for.

We looked at artwork discussing fascism, xenophobia, police brutality, racism, misogyny, capitalism— all with the goal of creating more knowledge and accountability as critical thinkers, artists and activists. The print mediums we explored range from Lithography, Offset, Relief, Screen, Etching and Risograph. Each iteration of this class has made a collaborative student zine printed with our dear & queer comrades at But Whole Press in San Francisco.”
