Building Futures: Printing Women

In Wichita State's Project Space Gallery, this exhibition expands the record of women's contributions to printing history, looking past the machinery of the press to the manual, often overlooked labor that built the industry's foundation. It is a targeted reclamation of women's agency, examining how women used 'peripheral' print — periodicals, manifestos and ephemera — to build political movements. By showcasing publications like 'The Una,' 'The Lily' and 'The Voice of Industry,' the exhibition proves that print was never a neutral medium; it was a political practice.
