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. Lois Harada will host a hands on demo on letterpressing techniques. We will have the opportunity to learn and practice these techniques with a story-telling and activist lens.
