Join San José State University Professor Irene Carvajal and SJSU students for their second workshop on relief printing. Inspired by the political posters of Yolanda López, our SJSU collaborators will lead participants through the process of merging the personal and the political in their own prints.
Contributing Artists: Dante Castaneda, Maria De Hoyos, Mariam Ibrahim, Mario Montes Pozo, Jo Sien, and Morgan Spyksma.
All ages and experience levels are welcome. Please email education@sjmusart.org if you have any questions about the workshop.
