🎨 Printing Gender Queer, one of the most-banned books in the U.S. by Maia Kobabe, as part of the Forbidden Pages project—an art and social engagement initiative raising awareness and inspiring action against censorship. For me, letterpress printing is pure delight—an intoxicating mix of ink, type, adrenaline, labor, and creativity. I love working with my hands and knocking out a second and third print idea, making the most of the setup, colors and the ideas as they flow. 🖤✊ Labor is an essential part of human nature. As we shape the world around us, express creativity, and fulfill our potential. @miamipapr @dvcai @extravirginpress #GenderQueer #BannedBooks #ForbiddenPages #LetterpressLove #ArtAndActivism #CreativeResistance #bannedinflorida #readbannedbooks #unitedagainstbookbans #artistasactivist #artistacubana

🚨 Its Banned Book Week and the Freedom to Read is Under Attack! 🚨 At the heart of Forbidden Pages are letterpress prints. This project draws inspiration from a collection of over 2,500 banned or challenged children’s books in Florida public schools, featuring titles like The Bluest Eye, Before She Was Harriet, All Boys Aren't Blue, and Fry Bread among others. 🌟 Let’s come together to reflect, discuss, and celebrate our right to read! 📚❤️ #artistasactivist #Artandactivism #BannedBooks #BookBanning #FreedomToRead #IntellectualFreedom #dvcai #extravirginpress #letterpressprinting #letterpress #BannedChildrensBooks #BookControversy #ReadBannedBooks #UnbannedBooks #bannedbooksweek #ncacensorship #familiesagainstbookbanning #moms4libros
