Speakers
Each year, BABA brings together speakers addressing a wide array of topics related to book arts to help illustrate the breadth and diversity of the form; ranging from book artists, poets, printmakers, conservators, teachers, painters, medievalists, and beyond. This year, we are working on bringing these presentations into the digital realm for your enjoyment in the comfort of your own home.
Talks will go on our website in early October as they are received, and on Sunday, October 18th, 2020, they will be live-streamed followed by time for Q&A with our speakers and panelists. Please see below for the schedule for the day, and we look forward to having you join us!
