The printmakers from Ambos Lados are doing interesting things all over the world. Unfortunately I only touch on a fraction of the printmakers here, as my vision is limited from here in Albuquerque.
Alec Demspter organized another print portfolio, with printmakers from 20 countries -- Tierra Herida -- which was on view at the National Palace when we visited downtown Mexico City in August 2019. This portfolio was previously exhibited in Chicago and Milwaukee. We have a huge respect for the effort he put into this project!
