Rising From the Ashes: The Artistry and Perseverance of Moving Parts Press
Thursday, January 28, 5:00 – 6:30 pm
Moderated by Rachel Nelson, Director, Institute of Arts and Sciences, UCSC
Co-sponsored by Special Collections & Archives, UCSC and Institute of Arts and Sciences, UCSC
In June 2020, book artist Felicia Rice completed her most recent piece, The Necropolitics of Extraction. Two months later the book, along with Rice’s studio, was destroyed by the wildfires that ravaged the Santa Cruz Mountains. The only extant copies of the work are those that had already found homes in various institutions across the country. Despite this massive loss Rice’s work continues as Moving Parts Press works to rise through the ashes.
Rice’s work has always hinged on collaboration and community in order to explore and comment on some of the most tangled issues of our time, from questions surrounding identity to the sustainability of our planet. This event invites a number of her closest collaborators, including UCSC Arts Faculty, T.J. Demos and Jennifer González to join Rice in conversation about her work, the process of collaboration and the impact of the medium of artists’ books.
