14+ Foundation and Bruce High Quality are teaming up on an ambitious, year-long printmaking project to benefit the Chipakata Children's Academy in Zambia and future programs at BHQFU.
Though continents apart, the two schools share the belief that free education is a right, not a privilege, and we can make a difference in our communities by creating together.
HOW WE'LL MOVE A MOUNTAIN
First, New York artists and writers are creating original copper plate etchings responding to the question, “How to move a mountain?”
Next, BHQFU will pack up the prints, plates, and press and travel to Zambia to work with the Chipakata students on their own original works of art.
In 2017, the students’ unique prints will be exhibited in Zambia alongside those of US artists, then cross the ocean to New York for an exclusive stateside debut.
The press ends its journey at Chipakata, for the use of all the students to come. Copper plates created by the artists and students will become part of a permanent, large-scale mural on the exterior of the school, where it will patina over time as it faces out toward the
mountains.
