Printmaking is a distinct community within the arts with its own lexicon, tools and character. Similarly, the Queer community also has its own vocabulary, equipment and spirit. When the two overlap, a remarkable niche is created.

 

Niche panel discussion explored that intersection as five Queer printmakers discussed how their unique identities shaped their paths in art. The event took place as part of PrintAustin's 2021 virtual expo.
