You are invited to the exhibition "Libros/Arte: Handmade Books from Latin America & the Caribbean" at the University Art Museum.
Through December 4, 2023.
Handmade books by small presses push the boundaries of traditional printing techniques while addressing a range of political, social, and cultural subjects.
This is the first ever exhibit at our museum that is fully bilingual (Spanish and English). It is also the first that dedicates a whole museum floor to showcase Latin American and Caribbean books from our Department of Special Collections & Archives.
