This book is the result of our project, "Artists as Witness", which was first a series of field trips; to Lesbos one year, then to France and Italy, Ventimiglia, and Breil sur Roya, the next. Our process was to offer art workshops in various refugee-camps so we could see what was happening with and to the refugees. We wanted to hear their stories. This book is a collection of images in various mediums, including dry point, lithography and linoleum blocks.
The book concept and design we did together.
Many of the images were drawn on site.
Some texts are digitally reproduced; reflecting that intriguing border between old tech and new tech.
Hand-pulling the prints and binding the books is done here in out Atelier.
