Coinciding with the Mid America Print Conference, a remote symposium, this juried members’ exhibition feature’s work centered on ‘Resistance and Revolution’. Jurors are Mildred Beltré and Jennifer Hughes. Mildred Beltré is a multi-disciplinary artist invested in grassroots activism, social justice, and political movements. Her work spans photography, print-making, drawing, text-based formats, and fiber arts. Across these diverse mediums, Beltré carries forth the legacies of revolutionary protests and civil rights movements, while bringing in elements of desire and humor. She is the co-founder of the Brooklyn Hi-Art! Machine (BHAM), an arts initiative in Crown Heights, Brooklyn that addresses gentrification and community building.” Jennifer Hughes uses drawings, prints, and artist books that aim to tell visual stories about herself and her family. Most recent work has been a series of lithographs documenting memories of her mother's hands (baking, praying, braiding hair, etc), and collaborating with other artists in the Boston area where she currently resides. Jennifer teaches art at a private K-12 school, and has stated that she ‘tries hard to convert the youth into becoming printmakers.”
