Artist Book Hour: Artists Engage American Politics
Artist Book Hour: Artists Engage American Politics In-Person
How have artists used visual media to comment on the US political landscape? Join us to explore a selection of artists’ books from Arts Library Special Collections featuring themes centered around American policy, political figures, and political institutions. Our guest curator for this event is De'Ivyion “Ivy” Drew, 2025-2026 Kress Fellow in Art Librarianship, Arts Library Special Collections. 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.
