MORE THAN BORDER EXCHANGE: CROSSING CULTURE THROUGH PRINTMAKING
Panelists shared their experiences in crossing cultural background through printmaking. For many immigrant artists, dealing with the change of the change of geographical location and verbal language are expected. However, coping with the cultural shifted aftershock could be a much longer process. Printmaking, a visual art form that includes varied processes and textures provides immigrant artists opportunities to associate and contribute from the inside out. During this panel immigrant printmakers shared their own stories of journeying through the cultural shift.
