Artists Panel for Booking: Artists’ Books by Black Artists

A BIMA PRISM PROGRAM
Part of Handwork 2026
Booking: Artists’ Books by Black Artists curator Colette Gaiter returns for an intimate conversation with three artists from the exhibition, bringing this show to a close with reflections on the ideas, stories, and creative practices that have shaped this landmark exhibition.

Following the discussion, you are invited to stay for the Black History Month Soirée! At this year’s party, some of this panel’s artists will host their own tables at the Soirée’s Black Love Market where they will be selling their books, prints, and other works. Inspired by Booking, you’ll be able to use BIMA’s provisional presses and woodtype collection to print your own messages on posters and cards during the Soiree!

BIMA’s PRISM programming is where art comes alive, off the walls and onto the stage. From films and concerts to artist talks and community celebrations, PRISM expands what it means to be an art museum through regular, engaging live events on BIMA’s stage, in its galleries, and outside the museum.
