Participants explored connections between provided texts and exhibited work, creating a zine which pairs curated source materials to reveal new layers of meaning. Guided by the in-gallery readings, participants used the collected materials and texts to collage and reconfigure the work, resulting in a published dialog between the participants of the workshop and the rich history of African American Graphic Design.
