Artist Book Hour: Black Creators Engage the Book

Artist Book Hour: Black Creators Engage the Book In-Person

Join us to explore bookworks created by Black artists and writers, including those on themes of identity, materiality, and community. Our guest curator at this event is Shannon K. Supple, a curator at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.  

The program will begin with remarks by our guest curator. This is an informal event, however, and you are welcome to drop in anytime during the hour.  

Curious about artists' books? They are, simply put, a creative medium in which the conventional materials and approaches of book production—for instance paper and ink, graphically compelling combinations of illustration and text, and structures that invite exploration—are used and sometimes subverted to create tangible, interactive, surprising works of art. Haas Arts Library has thousands of artist books, many in its special collections, and the Artist Book Hour event series invites you to engage directly with these art objects. 

Audience: All members of the Yale community are welcome to attend.
