Presenter Bios

Etai is a printmaker and arts-educator, living on Piscataway land in Maryland. Etai works as an printmaking associate at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center and teaches printmaking and book arts at several art centers in the DMV area. In his art practice, Etai is often working at the intersection of print culture and Yiddish, weaving together archival research, oral history and storytelling, and speculative imagining. Etai understands slow, deliberate acts of repetition, transmission, and transformation as the connective marrow between the cultural dimensions of his work and the technical side of craft traditions like printmaking.

Yael Horowitz is a scholar-practitioner of Yiddish performance living on Lenape land in Queens New York. She is currently getting her PhD at the CUNY Graduate Center in Theatre and Performance. Her work focuses on friendship and intimacy as a site of cultural transmission. Big life highlights include seeing a bait ball while SCUBA diving, creating big puppet parades, and every single time she’s ever seen a whale.

The Bill Stewart Project Award was established to honor the legacy of Bill Stewart, a longtime supporter and dealer of contemporary fine press and artists’ books. In service to Bill’s fascination with the physical attributes of the book, CBAA invites members to submit proposals for the Bill Stewart Project Award in Book Arts, which provides up to $500 in support of new creative projects and/or to enable the progress and completion of ongoing projects.

Embracing the Tangible: Fostering Interdisciplinary Connections in Book Art

In a digital age where screens dominate our interactions, the material book stands as a testament to the enduring power of the tangible. This conference theme invites participants to explore the palpable allure of book art and its capacity to bridge diverse disciplines. We invite proposals for papers, pre-formed panels and demonstrations that examine book art through an interdisciplinary lens highlighting connections and collaborations between book art and disciplines ranging from literature, music, and visual arts to science and technology and beyond. In addition, the conference will include a juried CBAA members exhibition, members showcase, and a vendor fair.

Call for papers is now OPEN! (Click for Proposals page)
Call for work for the Juried Members Exhibition is now OPEN! (Click for Exhibitions page)

Information about travel and accommodations will go up on the CBAA website in the near future!
