AMOS KENNEDY PRINTS!

Thursday and Friday April 7 & 8, 10:00-5:00

Book Arts Workshop, Baker Library

Come print with Amos Kennedy! On Thursday, April 7 & 8, world-renowned letterpress artist Amos Kennedy brings his unique vision and hands-on approach to the Dartmouth community with an all-day, drop-in workshop held in Dartmouth Library’s Book Arts Workshop. Kennedy, the subject of documentary film "Proceed and Be Bold!”, is a self-proclaimed “humble negro printer” whose work raises raises profound questions about race and individuality. Come make a poster, check out the presses, and chat about art, printing, and Kennedy’s new project: the Detroit Printing Plant.

This Dartmouth community event is sponsored by the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning (DCAL), the Neukom Institute for Computational Science, and the Dartmouth Library’s Book Arts Workshop.
