Paper Is People: Challenging Colonial Definitions of Paper

"Paper Is People: Challenging Colonial Definitions of Paper" is an exhibition that opens a conversation around what paper is across cultures, through indigenous and oral traditions in the U.S. and in a global context. This is the first exhibition of its kind to reimagine and decolonize the practice of papermaking.
