This event follows the Friday night opening reception of “WORKSHOPPING,” featuring new work by Emily Larned @emilylarned, and a new publication that explores the conceptual workshops from the archives of Women’s Studio Workshop. 

Directed and shot by Annie Laurie Medonis, an LGBTQ+ and women-forward filmmaker, the documentary, A Culinary Uprising (1 hour 22 minutes), tells the inspiring story of Selma Miriam (89) and Noel Furie (79), who founded Bloodroot @bloodrootrestaurant, a feminist vegan restaurant and bookstore. For 48 years, they’ve been a strong voice for diversity, women’s empowerment, and the well-being of all living creatures.

Sarah Stefana Smith @sarahstefanasmith recently co Sarah Stefana Smith @sarahstefanasmith recently completed her time at WSW as a Studio Residency Grant recipient. While on campus, she focused on material experiments through pressure printing, ghost printing, and collagraphs, using our intaglio and letterpress studios. Smith began creating a series of broadsides and a chapbook as a teaching tool that brings together the historical archive of Sojourner Truth and anti-slavery movements.

Smith (she/they) uses methods of installation, textile-based sculpture, and photography to explore abstraction, infrastructure, and materiality. Drawing largely on what Smith calls barrier materials—deer, bird, safety netting, chicken wire, and fishing line—they comment on boundaries between humans and species, lines of demarcation around difference—race, gender, sexuality, and how modes of difference are used to constitute and congeal belonging. Smith recontextualizes material and matter, and the rendering of difference to consider relation and non-relation between human and species. To learn more about Smith’s practice, visit sarahstefanasmith.net.

Check it out across from the Guerrilla Girls @guerrillagirls exhibition if you’re in the area!

A Radical Alteration opened in January 2024 and has traveled around the country, concluding its run at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts (@mnbookarts) on October 4th, its final location.

Our 50th-anniversary exhibition examines the organization’s rich history as a proponent of book arts for marginalized communities in the U.S., where documentation and critical analysis in the field are still largely reserved for White male artists. Through artists’ books, zines, printed materials, ephemera, and archival materials, the exhibition looks at how the WSW’s policies, programming, and operations have evolved over the last fifty years, thus creating a space where the conditions of art making and institutional support are in the service of a sustainable and more equitable art ecosystem.
