Print Exchange
Artists were invited to submit prints celebrating the wise words of Martha Gellhorn, author, war correspondent, feminist trailblazer for our first Print Exchange.
2023 theme: “Bravery in War and Peace.”
The Mission: To heighten awareness of the work of Martha Gellhorn and her wise words on the scourge of war, the fragility of peace, the horrors of genocide, the requirements of conscience, the importance of citizenship, the uncertain future of the human race.
This print exchange will bring attention to authors who inspire action/activism and celebrate the power of the press.
The Invitation: Artists werere encouraged to design posters emphasizing any aspect of Gellhorn’s work consistent with the theme of “Bravery in War and Peace.” This imperative is as critically important now as in Gellhorn’s own time.
