Empowerment PrintBar
~
Mobile Print Station since 2017, ongoing
Daniela Brasil/ Daily Rhythms Collective
in collaboration with Afro-Asiatisches Institut Graz
This project includes artworks from artists and workshops participants, among them artists Katcha Bilek, Kate Howlett-Jones, Tuuli Marjaana Sundén, formers participants of the Daily Rhythms Collective.
The print bar is a participatory project that discusses the topic of equality and emancipation within workshops with various groups, including migrant and vulnerable communities. Out of these conversations, texts and graphic works are co-created and/or re-appropriated into visual messages, also in various languages. Relevant people representing particular voices of change and resistance are also depicted, specially within struggles against racism, sexism and colonialism.The images and messages are available to the wider publics through silk screen, lino cuts and stamps. The print bar pops-up in different places inviting passers-by to print the motifs they identify with. The prints are made in t-shirts, notebooks, post cards and bags, small gifts to spread the word around.
This project is being realised since 2017 in Graz and abroad,
