This week, Miranda speaks with Ann Shafer and Luther Davis to talk about the Brooklyn Fine Print Fair, which will be having its inaugural event in March of 2025. They talk about why art fairs are important, the culture of buying and selling prints, the programming the fair has to offer, and what artists can get out of attending a fair even if they’re not showing.
Hoy Reinaldo estará conversando con Memo Orduña. Maestro impresor y artist gráfico originario de Oaxaca y jefe de edición del taller la Buena Impresión. Memo comenzó su carrera inspirado por el trabajo artístico de sus familiares y a su temprana edad se convirtió en la cabecera de la impresión en este prestigioso taller dedicado a la litografía.
