(New York, NY—January 21, 2021)—International Print Center New York (IPCNY) announces Mapping Narratives: New Prints 2021/Winter. IPCNY’s New Prints Program is a biannual open call for prints and print-based work, offering a snapshot of what artists are contending with in the moment. Selected by Black Women of Print (LaToya Hobbs, Jennifer Mack-Watkins, Angela Pilgrim, Stephanie Santana, and Tanekeya Word), this in-person and online exhibition features new works by 40 artists representing 15 states and 9 countries.

Mapping Narratives explores “the varied ways printmakers and book artists exist in space and how they associate meaning, via their lived experiences, to inform place,” said Tanekeya Word, founder of Black Women of Print. Juror Stepanie Santana commented, “2020 was a year in which many of us redirected our lives and activities inward… It’s clear that the events of the past year impacted the work, and that the question of how we anchor ourselves and our narratives will endure. We are forever changed.”

In conjunction with the exhibition, IPCNY will host online Public Programs including two artist talks and a conversation with Black Women of Print. Free and open to the public on Zoom. Check www.ipcny.org/news for more information.
