Description

Lois Harada is an artist and printmaker working in Providence, Rhode Island. She works at DWRI Letterpress, a commercial letterpress printshop where she also prints her own work. Harada utilizes text and the medium of the poster to tell her family’s story of incarceration — her paternal grandmother was interned in Poston, Arizona from 1942 -1945. She takes inspiration from propaganda printed and distributed by the United States government and prints with type and equipment similar to that which would have created the original works. During this session we’ll be hearing about Lois’s journey and approach to printmaking artist while generating ideas for what we will be making the following week @DRWI.
