Call for Participation
Print Technology: Hybridization & Humanity
A Themed Portfolio Organized by Brett Taylor & Brandie Dziegiel
Trade Portfolio Description:
Donna Haraway, feminist science scholar and philosopher, describes our relationship with technology as being more than a tool but as systems that influence and inform our social realities, power structures, and values. “Technology is not neutral. We’re inside of what we make, and it’s inside us. We’re living in a world of connections and it matters which ones get made and unmade.” We are not separate from technology, but instead, we are entangled, intertwined, and enmeshed.
Building on this idea, printmaking as a technology reveals complex connections between our bodies, histories, and environments through processes like recombination, collage, layering, and hybridization. As a hands-on medium, printmaking allows us to explore how these elements shape identity and our relationship to the world. Participants are invited to create prints using multiple techniques that express themes such as transformation, interconnectedness, autonomy, and reconfiguration. These works aim to uncover new ways of understanding ourselves and our surroundings, using printmaking as a tool for research and discovery that expands embodied knowledge and deepens connection.
