I am excited to be part of Artist Residency Program AGITPROP at The Compound Gallery during which I intend to make at least 100 prints with a social message to be freely disseminated in the bay area.
The AGITPROP residency is designed to give a concerned individual the opportunity to create art with a message. The project will take form as a one month long residency program focused on traditional printmaking techniques and building a bridge between printmaking’s historic relationship to generating social/cultural/political awareness and contemporary social media/online forums. The Compound Gallery, LLC in northwest Oakland will serve as headquarters for the residency program, but dissemination of residency projects will take place publicly – anywhere in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco counties, and possibly beyond the Bay Area– as well as across the internet.
