BLACK, WHITE, AND IN LIVING COLOR:
A HISTORY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN PRINTMAKERS
a lecture by Juarez Hawkins
Juarez Hawkins will discuss African American artists working in printmaking, including 19th-century abolitionist engravings, the blossoming of printmaking during the WPA era, and the role of prints during the Black Arts Movement (circa 1970). Hawkins will examine independent presses and how collaborations with master printers have extended the work of many artists, including Preston Jackson. She will also look at developments by contemporary artists.
Hawkins is an artist, educator, and curator. She received a BA from Northwestern University and an MA from Columbia College Chicago. Her work examines the evolution of identity, spirituality, and the body. Juarez has exhibited widely, hosting solo exhibitions at Concordia University, the 33 Collective Gallery, and the South Side Community Art Center.
