解説

An exploration of the rich history of printmaking at Cleveland's Karamu House, a center of Black arts, culture, and community since 1915

Winner of the 2026 IFPDA Book Award

Winner of the 2026 Ewell L. Newman Book Award

Honorable mention of the ARLIS/NA 2025 George Wittenborn Memorial Book Award

Karamu House, founded as a settlement house in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1915, is one of the preeminent homes of Black arts, culture, and community in America. Noted for its theater program, Karamu House also hosts a rich legacy in the graphic arts. Printmaking workshops open to artists and community alike launched in the 1930s, allowing a young Langston Hughes-as one notable example-to experiment with print.

Linked with printmaking's ethos of accessibility and democracy, a group including Elmer W. Brown, Hughie Lee-Smith, Charles L. Salle?e Jr., and William E. Smith-some of the most prominent Black printmakers of the WPA era-founded Karamu Artists, Inc. Reproductions of works by such artists are accompanied by essays situating the prints, the artists, and this locus of Black arts and culture in the histories it shaped. These writings are complemented by an interview with printmaker and Karamu alumnus Curlee Raven Holton.
