Letters in Liberation Course: Collaboration with Marco McWilliams
Rooted in Black Studies and master offset and letterpress print design craft, this course, as part of a series, examines the critical nature of the black radical text.
Developed in partnership with Marco McWilliams , a local Black studies scholar-activist and founder of the Providence Black Studies Syllabus.
As tactile print design and documentation are fundamental to the course, in the shop students will engage hands-on with the history of offset litho and letterpress printing. Each student will build individual print portfolios through a close literary and visual design analysis.
An emphasis is placed on consciousness building around the ways in which contested counter formations of black literary inform concepts of freedom and liberation.
