As part of Culture Days 2022, the Library’s Book Arts Lab is hosting ‘Migration in Print’ an exhibition of artworks by three local printmakers, Shealagh Pope, Madeleine Rousseau, and Beth Shepherd. This exhibit runs until Oct. 16, 2022. The theme “Migration” is timely as political, economic, and social conditions, often exacerbated by climate change, disrupt long-standing animal movements and force ever more people to flee their homes. Printmaking has often been used to call attention to pressing environmental and societal issues. This exhibition references that tradition in asking the viewer to consider both the current realities of migration and the role of printmaking in fostering dialogue and action around contemporary challenges.
