The Printmaking Lab, Sri Lanka, presents an international exhibition examining Black History as a significant and difficult chapter in world history. Through printmaking, the exhibition invites reflection on histories of slavery, colonialism, racial injustice, segregation, displacement, resistance, and the struggle for freedom and equality. The exhibition is not intended to present a single narrative. Instead, it brings together different perspectives on historical events, lived experiences, collective memory, and their continuing impact on society. Prints become records of memory — marks left by history. Submission Process: Artists should complete the online application form and upload the requested information and artwork images.
