Panel Discussion: Black Women of Print
UT’s Downtown Gallery will be hosting an exhibition of new triptychs by Black Women of Print featuring work by Deborah Grayson, Karen J. Revis, Stephanie Santana, LaToya Hobbs, Althea Murphy-Price, and Tanekeya Word. Join us for a special panel discussion with Black Women of Print members Althea Murphy-Price, Karen J. Revis, and Tanekeya Word as they discuss the personal, familial, and spiritual creative legacies behind their work.
This event, which is part of the Denbo Center for Humanities & the Arts 2024-2025 Distinguished Lecture Series, will be offered in a hybrid format. The in-person panel takes place in AA109 on the UT Knoxville campus. To register for the Zoom liverstream, visit tiny.utk.edu/BWoP.
This panel discussion is held in conjunction with the UT Downtown Galleries’ exhibition, "Lore: What We Were Told | What We Saw | What We Tell Ourselves", on display from August 30–October 17, 2024. The exhibition is supported by a Haines-Morris Grant from UT’s College of Arts & Sciences.
About Black Women of Print:
Black Women of Print was founded in October 2018 by Tanekeya Word, a Black woman, visual artist, art educator, scholar and fine art printmaker who resides in Milwaukee, WI. Word was interested in creating an equitable safe place for Black women printmakers who were underrepresented in the discipline of printmaking, a space that is eulogized as democratic.
Black Women of Print offers a counternarrative that decolonizes our highest proficiency level title from the traditional Eurocentric usage of the term master, rooted in trade/union print labor, to the term Established. Established Black women printmakers have brought into being an expansive body of work—personal or through artistic collaboration. We understand that our praxis is not superior to our peers. We are representations of one way to expand knowledge in the discipline of printmaking.
