To design this pin, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/centerforbookarts.org\/people\/gillian-lee\"\u003eGillian\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/centerforbookarts.org\/people\/caroline-wood\"\u003eCaroline\u003c\/a\u003e printed a few different hand-shaped ornaments from the letterpress type collection using a Vandercook in the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/centerforbookarts.org\/resources\/studio\"\u003eprintshop\u003c\/a\u003e. We chose to make a pin from this one for its size, classic little sleeve cuff, and etched shadows and fingernails. And this pin is actually the exact size of the printed image of the ornament in our collection! Draw attention to your fabulous style and taste, and celebrate letterpress printing history, with this gold-plated enamel lapel pin!

Modeled after traditional Ethiopian “magic” talisman scrolls, Metaferia makes a contemporary paper scroll book out of collaged images of Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) women (cis and trans femmes) who have previously engaged in her By Way of Revolution social practice workshops around the country.\r\n\r\nProtective iconography appropriated from the talisman scrolls adorn each image of the activists, who stand in historical revolutionary gestures. Crowd sourced text from her workshops and participatory installations are placed in sections where prayers are traditionally scribed. Bodily and performative in nature, \u003cem\u003eBeen Magic * Been Real\u003c\/em\u003e is printed to scale of the human form, and can be hung as art, gazed upon, read, recited, or carried as armor in its portable carrying case as a wearable sculpture, much like the traditional scrolls it was modeled after. Like the original scrolls, the book functions as a “visual medicine” with a twist toward contemporary politics and social justice.","brand":"Center for Book Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45024708001948,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3861\/files\/b1589c0b-Been-Magic-Been-Real-3-scaled.jpg?v=1748996179"},{"product_id":"vicos-spiral-catalog","title":"Vico's Spiral: Half Century of Artists' Books","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVico's Spiral: Half Century of Artists' Books\u003c\/em\u003e is a special publication accompanying the exhibition of the same name, commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Center for Book Arts (1974-2024).
