We encourage proposals that draw from ethics, feminist studies, critical race studies, queer theory, activism, and non-western perspectives to broaden and deepen our understanding of how people experience artists’ books. Our hope is for the conference to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of artists’ books; thus, we welcome submissions from art historians, artists, designers, critics, curators, librarians, collectors, booksellers, and practitioners in other fields. Graduate students and early-career artists and scholars are encouraged to apply. We anticipate that sessions will be conducted virtually over Zoom. All speakers will receive an honorarium for participating. The 2022 CABC is graciously supported by Center for Book Arts. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4 class=\"wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"\u003eAbout CABC\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003c!-- \/wp:heading --\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"className\":\"wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"} --\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"has-text-align-center wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eInitiated in 2008, the Contemporary Artists’ Book Conference presents in depth talks, panels, and conversations to further the critical dialog surrounding artists’ books.
