Robert Blackburn, Detail of Negro Mother

League artist, printmaker, and instructor, Robert Blackburn is known for his trailblazing career as well as for his commitment to creating space where racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse artists can thrive. His work lives on at The Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (RBPMW), where today’s artists find both community and collaboration.

In this discussion between artists Justin Sanz and Chakaia Booker, we'll learn about their own art practices, RBPMW, the relationship between artist and printer, and how Blackburn’s legacy continues to define the dynamic nature of printmaking for contemporary artists.
