Self Help Graphics at Fifty: A Cornerstone of Latinx Art and Collaborative Artmaking

Self Help Graphics at Fifty celebrates the ongoing legacy of an institution that has had profound aesthetic, economic, and political impact on the formation of Chicanx and Latinx art in the United States. Officially launched in 1973 during the Chicano Movement, Self Help Graphics & Art is known for its prints, Día de los muertos commemoration, and community-based programing. Learn why Self Help Graphics is known as a site of "art-based community-making." Join RIDGS Center for a panel and art-making workshop. Learn from three of the book's contributors about the praxis that makes this legacy institution thrive, even during fiscal precarity. Then local queer, mixed Boricua artist and educator Olivia Levins Holden, will lead a workshop on linocut printmaking.
