MAPC 2024 From The Ashes: Printmaking, Preservation, and Renewal will explore the relationship between printmakers and the natural environment. This conference will showcase those who draw upon this connection to challenge convention, preserve aspects of tradition, and define printmaking for the future: the artists, innovators, scientists, experimenters, curators, critics, educators, students, and professionals who are driven to make a difference. Topics for exploration could include the development of green printmaking technologies; research on and preservation or revival of traditional eco-friendly printing techniques; exploration of organic materials and bio- based chemicals; usage of printmaking to investigate, reflect upon, and expose environmental issues and concerns; and physical or conceptual interfacing with the environment in the creation and production of prints.
