Get excited for The Black Embodiments Studio for The (Printed) Matter of Black Arts Writing: Archives for the Future, a panel discussion on the practice of collecting, preserving, and circulating Black arts writing ephemera.

What do contemporary practices of preserving and circulating Black arts writing ephemera tell us about the futures of the art world in general?

This program will feature archivists and publishers of printed matter like flyers, zines, pamphlets, notebooks, and books, and will explore the significance of gathering around materials that are fragile and prone to disappearance!
