Flatlands Press in collaboration with our sister studio, Hoofprint, has created a series of four screenprints. This series is a study of Masks inspired by meditations and reflections on the ancestors. They are meant to reveal more than they obscure and attempt to bridge the future and the past. The first mask in the series, The Seeker, is available to purchase and all proceeds minus the cost of shipping ($20) go towards the Raise It Up Fundraiser sponsored by CPG, on behalf of the South Side Community Art Center. This fundraiser will provide improvements to the ceiling and lighting in the Dr. Margaret Burroughs Gallery.
The South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) is the oldest independently-owned African American art center in the United States. Founded by Margaret Burroughs and other African-American artists in 1940, the SSCAC boasts connections to printmakers Charles White and Elizabeth Catlett, photographer Gordon Parks, and the first woman to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize, Gwendolyn Brooks.
