First Friday: Mixed Media Poster Workshop with Devin N. Morris

Join us for a hands-on workshop where participants will use monotype printmaking, drawing, and collage to create one-of-a-kind posters. Drawing inspiration from the exhibition Act Black: Posters from Black American Stage & Screen, participants will be encouraged to make their own narrative movie posters using paper and magazine cutouts, layered text, and drawing to support their imagined stories and characters. 

No prior experience is needed and all materials will be provided.

This workshop is presented in partnership with Visual AIDS.

Devin N. Morris collapses memory and space to envision delicate new realms of existence through collage, painting, photography, physical assemblage. Morris is the founder of 3 Dot Zine, a publication and public forum for marginalized concerns. He hosted the Brown Paper Zine and Small Press Fair with Studio Museum in Harlem in 2018 and created a site-specific installation at the MoMA PS1 2018 NY Art Book Fair. 

Visual AIDS is a contemporary arts organization that uses art to raise awareness around HIV/AIDS, support artists living with HIV, and preserve the legacies of artists lost to the epidemic. Founded in 1988, the organization has worked with artists, activists, and cultural institutions through exhibitions, public programs, publications, and community initiatives that center the ongoing impact of HIV/AIDS.
