  • Do you know who's land you are occupying? UW Madison is located on ancestral Ho Chunk land that has been called Teejop (day-JOPE) since time immemorial. November is Native American Heritage Month, so it is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the 12 First Nations of Wisconsin as well as nations across the country. One of the best ways to engage with this subject is through personal stories and history that can be found in Indigenous artist's work. The Wisconsin Triennial at @mmocamadison currently includes work from 3 Native @uw_artdept faculty members, Tom Jones @tom_jones_cax_shep_ska, Emily Arthur @darkhorsepress, and John Hitchcock @hybridpress.

  • Artists' Book Club is today in the art library! Drop by to see artists' books by Amos Kennedy Jr., a printer known for his social and political commentary. 1-3pm; everyone welcome. @UWMadLibraries #UW_ARTdept #artistsbooks #printmaking #bookclub
  • Our zine making workshop is tomorrow! Drop in anytime from 11-1pm this Saturday and get scrappy with us. Materials and prompt provided, but feel free to bring your own stuff and ideas! We can't wait to see what you create! #zinemaking #DIY #artlibrary #uwmadlibraries @uw_artdept
  • This semester we've been super excited to host the Zine Library by Taylor Rushing, 2019 MFA @UW_ARTdept. Taylor's hand-carved chest provides a sweet home for his collection of ~200 zines collected since middle school. Zines are the scrappy DIY cousins of artists' books, one of the art library's major collecting areas. While both art forms are dynamic vehicles for expressing ideas in print, zines emphasize accessibility and counter-culture--anyone can make a zine! Come visit the Zine Library and then join us tomorrow, Saturday 11/9 from 11-1 for our first zine-making workshop! @twrushing #artlibrary #zines #woodworking #DIY @seliasalzsiederart @jenniebeee @sleeplesstransgressor @uwmadlibraries
