Teotihuacán

SOLD OUT! Please join the waitlist on Eventbrite HERE!
Capacity: 30

Situated 30 miles outside of Mexico City, this vast urban complex was active between the 100 BCE and 600 CE and populated by more than 200,000 residents at its apex. Now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Teotihuacan was the largest cultural center in the Americas prior to European contact. The site is home to some of the world’s largest monuments, including the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, the Temple of the Sun, and the Temple of the Moon. Aside from its grand monuments, the city is considered a model of urbanization and large-scale planning that is structured on a grid system orientated to the cosmos.

The tour will be led by guides who are knowledgeable about the site’s history, cultural significance, and preservation.

Lunch will be hosted in a nearby cave complex.

Hats, sunblock, ample water, and sturdy close-toed shoes are strongly recommended.

Biblioteca Miguel Lerdo de Tejada - Museo Foro Valparaiso - Museo del Estanquillo

SOLD OUT! Please join the waitlist on Eventbrite HERE!
Capacity: 20

Biblioteca Miguel Lerdo de Tejada
Housed in a former 18th century baroque church, the Biblioteca Miguel Lerdo de Tejada provides access to important financial and economic records as well as various historical newspapers. The creative gem of the space is the magnificently psychedelic mural, La Revolución y los Elementos by Vlady (aka Vladimir Víktorovich Kibálchich Rusakov), which surrounds the reading room celebrating the revolutionary spirit. Vlady began painting the piece in 1972 after the library moved to the chapel of the former oratory of San Felipe Neri and he finished the elaborate work in 1982.

Museo Foro Valparaiso (Valparaiso Forum Museum)
The Museo Foro Valparaiso occupies an architecturally important baroque building by Francisco Antonio Guerrero y Torres in Mexico City’s historic center. The focus of our visit will be the library and archives of this space which houses treasures by Siqueiros, Rivera, Kahlo, Orozco, Velasco, Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo and others.

Museo del Estanquillo
Carlos Monsiváis opened his collection to the public with the founding of Museo del Estanquillo in 2006. The museum showcases a wide range of mediums and formats including historical documents, paintings, photographs, toys, scores, caricatures, models, and much more. The name is inspired by small shops popular in the 19th-early 20th century called estanquillos where shoppers could find a vast diversity of objects to procure.

Anthropology Museum - Museo Tamayo - Museo de Arte Moderno

SOLD OUT!
Capacity: 25

Museo Tamayo
Since its inauguration in 1981, the Tamayo Museum has presented the most significant modern and contemporary art in Mexico and abroad. With a dynamic program of temporary exhibitions, as well as a continuous commitment to activate and expand its collection, the museum offers a space for critical thinking where, through art, we can imagine new ways to respond to society’s challenges. The museum was designed by Teodoro González de León and Abraham Zabludovsky, who drew their inspiration from pre-Hispanic architecture.

Anthropology Museum
The current headquarters of the National Museum of Anthropology was inaugurated on September 17, 1964, and for more than five decades, it has fulfilled the mission of investigating, conserving, exhibiting, and disseminating the most important archaeological and ethnographic collections in the country.
From its conception, this icon of 20th century urban architecture was designed to be, more than a repository, a space for reflection on the rich indigenous heritage of our multicultural nation. Its 22 rooms and its more than 45,000 square meters of construction make it the largest museum in Mexico and one of the most outstanding in the world.
This important site houses the archaeological and anthropological testimonies forged by multiple cultural groups over hundreds of years of history; At the same time, it pays homage to the indigenous peoples of Mexico today through a large collection that rescues the uses, representations, expressions, knowledge and traditions that are the intangible heritage of the nation and a legacy that belongs to all humanity.

Museo de Arte Moderno
Located a short walk from the Anthropology Museum, the Museo de Arte Moderno maintains, according to its website, “one of the largest collections of Mexican art of the twentieth century, consisting of around three thousand paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings and engravings.” This includes important works by Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo, Rufino Tamayo, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, and many more. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions of modern and contemporary art from Mexico and beyond.

Becoming Leaders in Campus Cultural Enhancement Initiatives: Celebrating Student Identities and Building Relationships in Academic Libraries

Cost: $15. Registration required.

Cross-cultural and restorative justice initiatives through campus and community-wide partnerships have been fundamental in establishing an academic library on a small university campus as a leader in cultural enhancement initiatives. Dominican University is classified as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) that is approximately 65% Hispanic identified. From working with marginalized high school students in the local community to carefully curating a highly educational Afro-Latino exhibit, many of the multicultural efforts in the library have strengthened the partnerships with faculty and administration across campus and with nearby campus communities. These partnerships have been critical for the development and marketing of the library's multicultural and restorative justice efforts. The fundamental purpose of the cultural enhancement initiatives in the library and building campus and community-wide partnerships is to center and reframe voices of those not reflected in the dominant culture. Developments in the library have evolved from focusing on cultural competency to cultural enhancement. The library's collection development efforts, promotional materials, and student materials are only part of the cultural competency efforts made to be impactful to our student body. Our library has extended itself to be a safe space for a diverse community that goes above and beyond providing traditional library services. We are unique in our efforts because we do not tie our initiatives to assumed hardships our marginalized students face. Instead, we focus on their diverse culture, skillsets, and life experiences for them to feel represented in an institution that historically was created without them in mind. The library has become a safe space where students can see themselves and develop a sense of belonging. All European and neutral artworks have been removed from the library space and replaced with exhibits and visual art that are reflective of the student's culture and heritage. Programming in the library has shifted to include more culturally inclusive and restorative justice work, from bringing in cultural icons in the Land Back Movement to partnering students with community organizations that specifically inspire Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) through education and social justice initiatives. This workshop will use examples from the library's JEDI work and use concept map methodologies with participants to develop a restorative justice or culturally inclusive initiative at their institutions. This workshop will provide strategies on how to cultivate multicultural programming, exhibits, and other culturally enhancing work in an academic library. This workshop will also review the tactics used by the library to build the notoriety and confidence in these efforts with senior university administrators. The presenters will outline specific strategies used at their university and collaborate with participants on how to start these partnerships at their institutions“ even if their schools have not established any JEDI initiatives. Lastly, this presentation aims to illustrate the methodologies and reasonings how and why the library cultivated the many diverse programs and exhibits through various partnerships that increased the visibility of underrepresented groups and enhanced cultural competencies across campus. We aim for this workshop to be celebratory and interactive.

Art Resources on the Web: An Introduction to Web Archive Data Analysis and Instruction

Cost: Free. Application Required. Priority deadline for all applications is Friday, February 17. Attendance is limited, and accepted applicants may receive up to $1000 in travel support funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. For more information, and to apply for the workshop, please visit: https://archive-it.org/blog/art-on-the-web/

Every day, significant cultural and artistic production occurs globally across the web (e.g., digital art, exhibition or gallery websites, news, social media, and more). As a publication medium that can be both a vehicle of information about art as well as the art itself, the web presents challenges of scale and complexity for those that seek to preserve contemporary art history and integrate it in research and teaching. In this interactive workshop, jointly sponsored by ARLIS/NA and the Internet Archive and the New York Art Resource Consortium (NYARC)’s CARTA program, participants will be introduced to web archives as a primary source for art history, gain familiarity with web archive research use cases, and acquire hands-on experience creating web archive collections and computationally analyzing web archives - including the growing CARTA web archive of 700+ online art resources and art history publications within 8 topical collections: Art Criticism; Art Fairs and Events; Art Galleries; Art History/Scholarship; Artists Websites; Arts Education; Arts Organizations; and Auction Houses..

Casa Luis Barragán

SOLD OUT! Please join the waitlist on Eventbrite HERE!
Capacity: 20

Casa Luis Barragán, designed by Barragán and completed in 1948, is a transcendent work of modern architecture, named as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2004. UNESCO describes it as “a masterpiece in the development of the modern movement that merges traditional and vernacular elements, as well as diverse philosophical and artistic currents throughout time, into a new synthesis.” Luis Barragán’s influence in global architecture continues to grow; and his house is one of the most visited sites in Mexico City by architects and art connoisseurs from around the world. Enclosing its creator’s residence and studio, Casa Barragán beautifully incorporates the architect’s furniture and objects as he left them at his death in 1988. A Casa Barragán guide will narrate the tour in English.

Palacio de Bellas Artes

SOLD OUT! Please join the waitlist on Eventbrite HERE!
Capacity: 30

The Palacio de Bellas Artes, located at the east end of Alameda Park, hosts notable events in music, dance, theatre, opera, and literature in Mexico and holds important exhibitions of painting, sculpture, and photography. The initial design and construction began in 1904, stopping completely by 1913. Construction began again in 1932 under Mexican architect Federico Mariscal and was completed in 1934. It was inaugurated that year as the first art museum in Mexico dedicated to exhibiting artistic objects for contemplation.

The building’s exterior is primarily Art Nouveau and Neoclassical, while the interior is primarily Art Deco. The building is best known for its murals by Diego Rivera, Siqueiros and others, as well as the many exhibitions and theatrical performances it hosts, including the Ballet Folklórico de México. [adapted from Wikipedia]

The walking tour will provide unstructured time for contemplation of the architecture, murals, temporary exhibitions, and one of the city’s finest art bookstores. Elevators are available only for those with limited mobility, seniors, and pregnant people.

Resume Drop-In Workshop

Cost: Free! Registration not required. Please drop in!

The Covid-19 pandemic caused a devastating effect on the job market for librarians, archivists, and library students. Many institutions were forced to have layoffs and hiring freezes that in turn left Information Professionals without work. For those in our field fortunate enough to remain employed, the opportunities for growth at many institutions were paused due to financial circumstances related to the pandemic crisis. As the job market rebounds and libraries begin to hire en masse to fill these vacancies, many information professions now also find themselves interested in exploring new opportunities. But while the rebounding job market can be an encouraging and empowering sign, many emerging (and seasoned!) professionals may feel fatigue, burnout, and apprehension in the wake of the past few years of unprecedented uncertainty and stress. Would-be applicants may feel rusty, concerned, or anxious about their resumes, cover letters, presence in an interview - or battle impostor syndrome as they question whether to apply at all. In this workshop, interested parties can drop in and speak with seasoned professionals about interview tactics, resume help, and to discuss on an individual basis any circumstances or anxieties that might complicate a reentry into this new job landscape. This workshop is open to those who are hiring new candidates and seeking to thoughtfully select a colleague from a large and qualified pool of applicants. This is an opportunity for ARLIS members to seek and receive feedback in a collaborative and supportive environment designed to equip and embolden our members to pursue new opportunities with confidence. This is a Drop-In Workshop where participants can come receive professional feedback.

Diversity Forum: La Biblioteca Negra

The ARLIS/NA Diversity and Inclusion Committee is excited to present the annual Diversity Forum, featuring the founders of La Biblioteca Negra: anthropologist Olga Manzano and artist Baltazar Castellano Melo. La Biblioteca Negra was founded in 2017 in Cuajinicuilapa with the collaboration of the Autonomous University of Guerrero. The goal was to build a library collection with Afro-Mexican communities that reflects their history, culture, and identity. Specifically, stewards of the collection sought to counter the kind of extractive scholarship where communities of color are studied by outsiders, information is taken and stored elsewhere, and little is returned or made easily accessible to Black and Indigenous communities. Reciprocal relationships and giving back to the community are essential to inclusive and just knowledge-building, and therefore central to La Biblioteca Negra. So often, library collections are about communities of color for a white audience, rather than by and for these communities. La Biblioteca Negra breaks out of colonial and imperialist models of library collections, instead focusing on building collective memory with the Afro-Mexican community. Attendees will learn about the challenging process of creating the library and the ongoing work to keep it going. Furthermore, attendees will be presented with one model for building and maintaining diverse collections with and for communities of color.

El Comité de Diversidad e Inclusión están felices de presentar el Foro de Diversidad, este año nos acompañarán les fundadores de La Biblioteca Negra: la antropóloga, Olga Manzano y el artista, Baltazar Castellano Melo. La Biblioteca Negra fue fundada en el 2017 en el Municipio de Cuajinicuilapa en colaboración con la Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero. La meta fue desarrollar una colección con las comunidades Afro-Mexicanas que refleje la historia, cultura e identidad de las comunidades Afromexicanas. De manera particular, la colección busca contrarrestar acciones académicas extractivistas en las comunidades de color estudiadas por personas ajenas a ella; en donde la información se toma y almacena en otros lugares, y poco se devuelve o se hace fácilmente accesible a las comunidades Negras e Indígenas. Para la Biblioteca Negra las relaciones recíprocas y la retribución a la comunidad son herramientas esenciales para la construcción de conocimiento justo e inclusivo. Muy a menudo, las colecciones en las bibliotecas tratan sobre comunidades de color para una audiencia blanca, en vez de ser por y para estas comunidades. Por tanto, la Biblioteca Negra busca desmantelar modelos coloniales e imperialistas en el desarrollo de colecciones bibliotecarias centrándose, en cambio, en la construcción de una memoria colectiva con la comunidad Afromexicana. Los asistentes al foro aprenderán sobre el desafiante proceso de creación de la biblioteca y las gestiones en curso para mantenerla en funcionamiento. Además, a los asistentes se les presentará un modelo para construir y mantener diversas colecciones con y para comunidades de color.

AI Transformacion: The Future of Art and Architecture Methodologies and Practices

This panel proposes to spark a conversation and bridge connections between art and design librarians working across North America, in a variety of contexts and settings. Five panelists representing large and small American institutions, including museums, digital humanities, and academic libraries, will discuss the current trends they are observing within a range of disciplines, including art history, architecture, studio art and design, museum collections and curating, and urban planning. We are each working with populations who are interested in artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) technologies to develop creative works, investigate disciplinary questions, craft new solutions, and/or curate new collections. Once the realm of science fiction, the term AI was coined by American computer scientist John McCarthy in the 1950s, leading researchers to examine computer learning and its uses. As the machine-learning evolution has gained momentum over the last ten years, questions have arisen, such as: How can we ensure that we are not codifying societal biases and inequities into these new technologies? Are humans prepared to critically interrogate AI, NLP, and ML? How are creators working with these new technologies to innovate in their fields? How do we support and preserve these new works across their life cycle? How do we teach about them, describe them, pay attribution to both the AI and the human creator? Recent controversies over the DALL-E 2 technology illustrate some of these conundrums, as does the dismissal of a Google employee who claimed that AI has become sentient. On the other hand, AI has allowed artists and designers to create new, even international partnerships, generating groundbreaking development and marketing of innovative work, often external to art markets that may have once constrained such creativity. Given these questions, this panel poses the following questions of our profession: How can we support patrons, students, and creators as they work with these technologies? What can we be prepared for, and what can we leverage? And, what skills will be needed? After brief presentations, panelists will pose discussion prompts to the audience to learn what experiences attendees have had with AI at their respective institutions, including professional, research, and pedagogical applications. We hope that this session will lead to a better understanding of the trends, opportunities, challenges, and future of AI and affiliated technologies, as well as its uses within art, architecture, and design librarianship.

Art Library Workers United: On Unionizing Art Librarians

There has been a wave of unionization in art and design-affiliated institutions nationally over the past few years, aided in part by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME)'s campaign, Cultural Workers United. Library work has been theorized heavily both in library literature and popular culture around Fobazi Ettarh's concept of "vocational awe," the notion that certain types of work are considered "inherently good and therefore beyond critique." Ettarh argues that this pervasive attitude is one that enables workplaces that abuse librarians' labor. Anne Helen Petersen has extended this argument to talk about "essential workers" during a pandemic. She writes, "You know what we do with people we've deemed "essential"? We rarely compensate them more. We don't protect them. We don't actually venerate them, because veneration entails respect, and respect means paying people a living wage and not asking more of them than we're willing to give ourselves." In the long wake of a global pandemic, this panel seeks to look at the ways in which art library workers have sought to address their precarious working conditions and join a formerly dormant but now resurgent labor movement. This panel brings together art information professionals who have been involved in successful unionization efforts at each of their institutions, including two AICAD schools, a large state university, and a museum. Presenters will discuss the process of unionizing their workplaces, bargaining their first contracts, and the sometimes unexpected benefits of union organizing, like building community within your institution. They will touch on how this work has benefited from and intersects with their work in the library and/or as artists and researchers. Attendees can expect to leave with a brief introduction to relevant labor law in the private and public sectors, practical information about organizing a labor union, the unique challenges of organizing among information professionals and cultural heritage institutions, as well as food for thought about the current state of art librarianship as work.

Museo Mural Diego Rivera

SOLD OUT! Please join the waitlist on Eventbrite HERE!
Capacity: 30

Explore Diego Rivera's mural, Sueño de una Tarde Dominical en la Almeda Central, with colleagues between conference presentations. This piece was originally commissioned by architect Carlos Obregón Santacilia for the Hotel del Prado. Rina Lazo and Pedro A. Peñaloza assisted Rivera in painting the mural. The work was originally located in the Hotel del Prado’s Versailles dining room, but was moved to the lobby in 1960. After a 1985 earthquake severely damaged the Hotel del Prado, the mural was moved to the Hotel Regis in February 1986 and the Museo Mural Diego Rivera was established in February 1988 to act as a steward for this incredible work of art. Grab a quick bite nearby afterwards.

Imagination in Action: Cultivating Creativity in the Library & Classroom

Creativity has a unique manifestation for every individual, drawing on feelings, ideas, playfulness, and practical skills which are often connected to experiential learning and the Arts. Creativity can also be relaxing, fun, and a way to learn more about empathy and communicating with others. One of the greatest misconceptions about creativity is that it can only happen in a certain kind of space that is outfitted with technology or specialized equipment, which is not true. Creative learning and engagement can happen anywhere, and creative spaces need to be flexible and adaptable, but the rest emerges organically.

Because libraries are known as places to cross disciplinary boundaries, explore, and collaborate it is only natural to find creativity in our teaching and learning spaces. Throughout this session
panelists will describe case studies involving “creativity” which have successfully captured students' imaginations while also achieving learning objectives. Speakers will share how creativity has inspired users to engage libraries through active learning and exploring collections, as well as demonstrate how providing people the space to be creative in libraries has led to rewarding and sometimes surprising results.

Session attendees will have an opportunity to participate in short active learning breaks, leave with a “creativity zine”, and be inspired to incorporate creativity into their library work.

The Novice Workshop: It Takes a Village to Raise a Librarian

Cost: $15. Registration required.

When we first enter the library profession, we quickly become surrounded by the pressures of pretending to know more than we do a breeding ground for imposter syndrome. Developing expertise is a good and fulfilling goal, but it can be punitive, intimidating and limiting especially to early career librarians. To grow in the profession sustainably, it is important, and even necessary, to address those concerns early with experimentation and collaboration. In this unconference-style workshop, we will collectively build a temporal environment where we share strategies, activities, and approaches to meaningful one-shot library instruction. Using the workshop as an instruction template, we will collaboratively build a toolkit crowdsourced from participants of every level of expertise. In doing so, we learn various practices used by librarians from different fields and institutions. Participants will come away feeling empowered in their current level of expertise around library instruction. The workshop is experimental by nature, and is being tweaked and iterated upon to submit to various conferences to gather the perspectives of all types of individuals engaged in instruction. In doing so, we want to recognize the work, experiences, and identities of the participants while acknowledging the gaps, biases, and positionality each one of us holds when we teach and instruct students from equally different and diverse backgrounds. We hope to provide a productive space in the hands-on workshop for participants to collaborate in a low stakes way, sharing successes and pain points surrounding their instructional practice and experiences by relating and connecting with one another.

Opening Plenary with Sol Henaro

Details for the opening plenary session forthcoming. Speaker: Sol Henaro. Sol Henaro (Ciudad de México) Fue co-curadora del MUCA Roma de 2000 a 2003 y en 2004 fundó la Celda Contemporánea, proyecto que dirigió hasta el 2006. Ha curado decenas de exposiciones entre las que destaca “No-Grupo: Un zangoloteo al corsé artístico” (Museo de Arte Moderno, 2010). Su interés por el cuestionamiento de la construcción del relato historiográfico la ha llevado a ponderar diversas singularidades no tan visibles dentro de la genealogía artística, interés que encontró eco y complicidad en la Red Conceptualismos del Sur, de la que forma parte desde el 2010. Ha publicado diversos textos en publicaciones especializadas, destaca su libro “Melquiades Herrera” publicado por Alias Editorial en 2015. Del 2011 a mediados de 2015 ocupó el cargo de Curadora del Acervo Artístico del Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo donde actualmente ocupa el cargo de Curadora de Acervo Documental y es responsable del Centro de Documentación Arkheia. En 2017 recibió el Reconocimiento Distinción Universidad Nacional para jóvenes académicos en el campo de creación artística y extensión de la cultura que la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México otorga. // Sol Henaro (Mexico City): She was co-curator of the MUCA Roma from 2000 to 2003 and in 2004 she founded the Contemporary Cell, a project that she directed until 2006. She has curated dozens of exhibitions including “No-Group: A jiggle to the artistic corset” (Museum of Modern Art, 2010). Her interest in questioning the construction of the historiographical story has led her to ponder various singularities not so visible within artistic genealogy, an interest that found an echo and complicity in the Red Conceptualismos del Sur, of which she has been a member since 2010. She has published various texts in specialized publications, including her book "Melquiades Herrera" published by Alias Editorial in 2015. From 2011 to mid-2015, she held the position of Curator of the Artistic Heritage of the University Museum of Contemporary Art where she currently holds the position of Curator of Documentary Heritage and is responsible for the Arkheia Documentation Center. In 2017 she received the National University Distinction Recognition for young academics in the field of artistic creation and extension of culture from National Autonomous University of Mexico.

Photographs as Cultural Objects in Library Ecosystems

The relevance of photographs not only in shaping art history but also as cultural objects in their own rights has been discussed in recent years by leading international scholars highlighting innovative collaborative projects and scenarios in individual collections. These studies have been instrumental in debunking the general perception that photographs are simply derivative secondary sources, surrogates, or even neutral objective visual resources.[cit. to be added] Yet photography holdings and their bibliographies in art libraries remain relatively invisible. In general library- and special collections, photographs coexist in all sorts of formats with papers and correspondence living in archives of scholars, galleries, artists, and in books. And whether in their analog or digital form, they are not just documentary static images or anonymous documents. They range widely physically as standalone individual objects (from small polaroids and slides to large oversize prints framed as art objects), and conceptually, as they live within sequential narratives, such as photo albums, editioned portfolios, books, and photobooks. They may be extremely rare and irreplaceable documents of ephemeral events, or unique photo-objects combined with text as conceptual art pieces.

If You See Something, Submit Something: A Beginners Guide to Contributing to Controlled Vocabularies

Reparative cataloging is some of the most transformative work being done in libraries today. Old terms are being reexamined and either updated or cast aside, while new terms are emerging that reflect the diversity of our times. Many of these evolving vocabularies, however, appear at first glance to be created and carefully guarded by large, somewhat intimidating institutions. This leads many catalogers to feel as if they have no role in changing and expanding these vocabularies, but that is just not the case. What this panel intends to do is bring together librarians from a range of libraries to help demystify the process of submitting terms to various controlled vocabularies. There will be presentations on contributing Library of Congress subject headings and name authority records, adding to or correcting terms in the Getty Vocabularies, and creating or revising records in Wikidata. These presentations will provide practical guidance necessary for catalogers to begin confidently contributing to vocabularies used by libraries worldwide. Attendees will gain confidence in their ability to participate in the maintenance and transformation of these essential resources. By broadening and diversifying the pool of contributors to these vocabularies, we can ensure that they begin to more accurately reflect the diversity of people and communities who rely on them.

Conversaciones Críticas / Critical Conversations: An Examination of Book Art / Libro de Artista

Over the last six decades, the book arts and the artists' book have been expanding their influence both internally, within libraries and museum collections, as well as beyond institutional and disciplinary boundaries due to their unique capacity to engage with and question metanarratives. Their unparalleled ability to initiate innovative exploration of canonical art works and authors, and their capacity to interrogate knowledge formation and dissemination in fields such as history, art history, literature, critical theory, artistic praxis, printing and book making distinguishes this field from any other. In addition, the artists' book has emerged as an ideal medium to further political, environmental and social justice initiatives. Despite the ability of book works to raise questions regarding any subject that could exist within a library's collections, the history of art has rarely engaged with the liminal space that is the homeland of book art. This session promotes the need for critical discourse around artists' book and book art from multiple perspectives. Speakers will explore the versatility of the medium's materials and design within the context of book arts production praxis, including mail art and its significance in Latin America; its opportunities for engagement with students and community members through exhibition, instruction and outreach events; its unique cataloging and descriptive challenges; and its place in art historical analysis and literary analysis. They will also demonstrate how the artist book creates an opportunity for dialogues about cultural and racial hegemony, gender, activism, and bi- and multilingual narratives. Panel participants include: a university faculty member and art historian whose areas of research includes artists' books from Latin America; an artist and faculty member whose receipt of a grant to work in Mexico generated a collaboration with a local printer using traditional letterpress processes; the director of a university book arts program; and academic librarians for whom artists' books permeate their collection development strategies, instruction, and public programming.

Embodied Research and Learning with Letterpress

This panel brings together three speakers on the topic of letterpress printing in academic institutions around the world. With a revival of handpress printing, it is increasingly common for libraries to house working printing equipment within their spaces. We will consider how these facilities provide different types of patrons with unique research and learning opportunities. The conference theme of transformation is considered in different ways: setting type as an embodied method of learning about graphic design and history; printing as an activity that foregrounds process for library collections in an environment that centers product, and using 3D technologies to create affordable teaching tools that facilitate hands-on bibliographical instruction and research. While libraries have collected the printed word as long as it has been produced, situating the making of printed content within the library context is a relatively new, and growing, enterprise. It has been demonstrated that letterpress printing can form and strengthen engagement ties with communities for libraries. What else can a printing press help you do? This presentation will give an overview of our experiences setting up and running letterpress studios and provide three methods of examining how these spaces can transform research and learning. First, we show how students in disciplines as diverse as graphic design and history can benefit from course instruction in printing and book arts to deepen their understanding. Second, how letterpress in the library can open up the possibilities of a process-based orientation for institutions. And finally, reports on efforts of the 3Dhotbed project to build a community-populated repository of open-access, 3D-printable teaching tools for those engaging in bibliographical instruction and research.

Transformative Assessment: Keeping Collections Relevant

We have all heard versions of the Greek philosopher Heraclitus' quote concerning the fact that the only constant in life is change. Today the need to transform our libraries comes from a variety of forces, but one that remains central is that of our users. With an ever changing plethora of resources, formats, and acquisition models, how do librarians ensure their practices related to collections meet the evolving needs of our users? In this session, panelists from academic and museum libraries will present collection management strategies, actions and assessment projects with the purpose of better representing the needs of libraries' current users, despite the numerous limitations faced by our individual institutions, as well as the rapidly shifting budgetary constraints, acquisition models, and ethical concerns across our profession. Presenters will address critical and emerging issues related to the theory and praxis of collections assessment in a range of scenarios: At a large academic library a demand driven acquisition program for print materials was adopted to improve discovery while compensating for approval plan reductions. This presentation will highlight a librarian's quest to better understand the actual materials purchased through the program and those requests not fulfilled. By assessing several years of data the librarian considers how this program has transformed the print collection and serves specific disciplines like the fine arts. Another librarian on the panel will speak about their experience of implementing assessment strategies for the electronic resource collection at a small academic institution. This talk will cover creating e-resource specific policies, the merits of using database usage for decision making, and alternative acquisition models like investing in open access. An early-career POC librarian will critically reflect on the significance of weeding physical library collections and its relation to both "diversifying" collections and retaining library workers. Practical considerations and approaches to deaccessioning plans will be compared between two libraries with varying resources: a large public university and a small museum library. A librarian at a minority-serving institution will report on the findings of an ongoing diversity assessment in the arts collection. This project aims to make diversity assessment accessible to all collections and uncover areas where advocacy to publishers and distributors is imperative. Using various strategies of collection analysis to discern the diversity of holdings, this project shows the value of different levels of assessment, from a high-level perspective --the 30,000-foot view-- to individual title analysis in specific areas. Attendees will be exposed to a variety of current issues in collections management, and will be offered strategies to consider adapting for their own institutions.

Digital Archives and Art Documentation in Latin American Art and Latinx Art

Cost: $15. Registration required.

This two-hour workshop invites participants with an interest in Latin American and Latinx art documentation and archives to an interdisciplinary dialogue centered on critical issues specific to our field(s): bilingual cataloging and metadata, post-custodial digital archiving, building and maintaining international partnerships, collaborations with librarians and archivists, lack of access to materials, and teaching with primary sources. Led by a research center at a large museum, the workshop will depart from a short presentation on its flagship initiative, a digital archive and publications project that provides access to primary source and critical documents in these fields. Since its inception, the project has addressed the endemic lag in access to documentation in Latin American and Latinx art, and in doing so has opened new paths for research and scholarship and served as an entry point for a general appreciation for the cultural production of the Americas.

No Limits: Transforming Restricted Access Collections in Art Libraries

For many academic art libraries, restricted collections, housed in a separate branch library or not, pose a variety of challenges related to organizational structure and partnerships, censorship, and access controls. These protected collections may comprise artists' books, zines, "medium rare" art books, erotica, titles or objects consisting of multiple loose pieces, and other sensitive or mixed-value materials; they can present a distinct challenge when the specific role or value of these collections are brought into question, and these items can be impossible to replace if lost or damaged. This panel presents a variety of transformative solutions, provocations, and inquiries in response to the issue of what, exactly, to do with or how to manage restricted access art library collections. In attempting to implement consistent practices and policies governing these collections, we acknowledge that they inhabit gray areas necessitating iteration, exceptions, and divergences within our institutions. Art librarians must continually re-examine their relationships to constituents, colleagues, administrators, and consortial partners in order to sustainably and efficiently grow and manage collections and services which straddle art/architecture/design libraries and special collections. The presenters acknowledge historic circulation and access practices in such collections while addressing evolving issues related to restricted or challenging content, traditional departmental silos, and equitable collection management practices.

Tell the Truth: Using Library Program Review for Transformation

Program reviews (a regular occurrence for academic departments) are becoming more commonplace for academic libraries. For most library workers, a library program review sounds like a thankless task intended only to illustrate the library's best side. However, that is the least effective way to approach library program review. In an era of "do more with less, the best thing you can do to advocate for your library is to tell the truth about its strengths and weaknesses through the official process of program review. In this session, attendees will learn the processes, tools, best practices, opportunities, and challenges of library program review. Although program review shares the structure of the accreditation process (self-study, external review, and response paper), it is a much more valuable assessment tool. The self-study portion can provide a deep dive into the strengths and weaknesses of the library by using guidelines, standards, and frameworks such as the ACRL Standards for Academic Libraries in Higher Education, ACRL Diversity Standards, and the ALA DEI Scorecard for Library and Information Organizations. The external reviewers are invited from peer libraries who best understand the library's issues. Finally, the response paper is the perfect launch pad for strategic planning within the library. Academic institutions that do program reviews likely have self-study and site visit templates. However, these templates are often not configured for libraries. For this reason, many libraries may have more autonomy in crafting the elements of their self-study and site visits to adequately address their needs. Panelists will explain how they retrofitted the templates, created new ones, and utilized software, as well as other ways they changed the typical process to better document the strengths and weaknesses of their libraries. Through panelists' recent experiences, you'll learn about this process from multiple perspectives, including heads of libraries/departments, internal review team staff, and external peer reviewers. The panelists whose libraries underwent reviews will address the challenges and opportunities of conducting their program reviews. They will discuss their desired outcomes and how well these were met by the process, their reviewers' report, and the reception from staff and administration. The reviewer panelist will outline their experience and the roadblocks they faced. All of the panelists will share lessons learned from the process. Overall, this session is a crash course on library program review--a rarely discussed but essential aspect of current academic libraries.

“The Visual in Black Life”: Perspectives in Black Memory Work

In the words of the late scholar, critic, and artist, bell hooks, “though rarely articulated as such, the camera became in black life a political instrument, a way to resist misrepresentation as well as a means by which alternative images could be produced.” Black librarianship and memory work has been integral to preserving the evidence of this resistance, the blueprint of an alternative future through ethical and culturally-informed collection, description, and engagement. Even in the context of today's digital landscape, Black stewardship continues to ensure the preservation of a people's history into the future, even in spaces yet to be imagined. Centering the work of stewarding collections of Black visual culture and Black artist archives, this roundtable examines some of the ways that this work has transformed and translated over different times and spaces. Attendees will learn from varying perspectives of Black visual culture stewardship through the voices of four Black women memory workers contributing to critical archival, curatorial, artist documentation, and publishing work. From stewarding private artists' collections and documenting Black women artists to photo curating for book projects and exhibitions, the presenters will offer considerations and strategies for caring for the rich history that is Black visual culture.

The Collaborative ART Archive (CARTA): Next Steps in Art-chiving the Web

At the 50th Annual ARLIS/NA Conference in Chicago last year, Collaborative ART Archive (CARTA) members coordinated a panel session discussing this collaborative project to capture and preserve at-risk web-based art materials. Since then, our project has accomplished major milestones including: expanding the collaborative entity to include nearly 40 organizations throughout North America; establishing a web collection of nearly 700 web-based art resources totaling over 7 TB of data with continued growth; and building a reference resource and public access portal to increase access and research using the web collections. This panel will provide updates on project accomplishments and the continued roadmap for future work and activities. Panelists will: give a brief overview of the project and its mission, highlighting member use cases on topics including the importance of digital preservation and the necessity of a model that leverages shared infrastructure, expertise and collecting activities amongst art libraries to scale the extent of web-published, born-digital materials preserved and accessible for art scholarship and research; discuss recent research use cases using the web collections, the development of the public access portal, and the findings from several collaborative data analysis workshops; and discuss sustainability planning to continue growth and success for the project.

Transformacion: Artists from Mexico Liv(ed)ing and Work(ed)ing in Quebec

Transformacion: Artists from Mexico Liv(ed)ing and Work(ed)ing in Quebec (A Panel Discussion in Spanish, French and English) Theme: International and Cross-Cultural Collaborations What happens when you leave your country, learn a new language and create works of art? According to a study by Elena Stephan, Thinking in a foreign (vs. native) language moves the individuals away from conventional and habitual modes of thought and thus boosts creativity. Two Romance languages are spoken in North America and yet we often insist that everyone speak English wherever we go. Very few art books are translated. Three Mexican artists (two presently working in Montreal, Quebec Canada, and one who left Mexico, went to Montreal and returned to Mexico) will discuss what it is like to decide to leave, be influenced by one's environment and what the future may bring after Covid and other challenges. Could it be that we are now in an era of a shared cultural identity that we can call Nord Americanismo? Moderator Sophie Thierrien is an anthropologist, has lived in Niger, Honduras, Mexico and Quebec and works in the field of immigration. While in Mexico City, they coordinated cultural exchanges between Mexico and Quebec.

Incorporating I.D.E.A. (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access) in Arts

Cost: $15. Registration required.

The workshop "Incorporating I.D.E.A in Arts" will provide attendees a basic understanding of what it means to be intentional with incorporating diversity and inclusion initiatives within one's institution. This workshop will provide attendees the following content: Gain a broad understanding of what it means for an art and/or historical institution to incorporate I.D.E.A methodologies into one's institution. This will include a broad historical overview of diversity and inclusion as it relates to the way history is told and who the stories are told by, information on looking at I.D.E.A as a lens instead of task related, the importance of diversity and inclusion values as it relates to one's institution as well as definitions. Basic information on what it means to get institutional leadership buy-in on diversity and inclusion initiatives as well as the importance of funding. Understanding and beginning to define the variations of diversity including community, regional and global diversity. Overview of cultural humility, the four principles of cultural humility and how one can begin to incorporate cultural humility principles within their institution. Understanding that diversity and inclusion spans across every aspect on one's institution from the visitor's experience, staff, volunteers, development, exhibition, curation, security, art libraries, public programming, architecture, membership, audio/visual, and administration. How to use one's diversity and inclusion values to make intentional decisions on I.D.E.A initiatives. Discussions on the types of changes needed to implement diversity and inclusion initiatives and what is measurable. Gaining an understanding of what type of change is not quantifiable like individual change and how to expand pass demographic numbers. Attendees will be given an overall understanding of what is needed including but not limited to full leadership support, financial commitment, defining of diversity and inclusion values and acknowledging ways to shift the way in which white supremacy culture is showing up within one's institution. This workshop will include activities for attendees to self-reflect on one's own identity, discussions on barriers to implementing diversity and inclusion processes, brainstorming on various opportunities to increase diversity and inclusion awareness, opportunities to journal and define one's own personal values, institutional values and the alignment between them. This workshop will include individual, small and large group activities.

Listening Forward: New Approaches to Oral Histories and Podcasting

Oral traditions have long been considered less reliable and legitimate forms of knowledge, and have thus been ignored or largely overlooked as primary sources of information for research. However, in the last ten years, this Western historical bias towards the written word has increasingly been challenged by a number of institutions and community groups in two different ways. Some strive to preserve marginal perspectives and testimonies through a range of oral histories, while others create podcast series that critically engage with their collections to serve broader constituencies. This panel seeks to survey these initiatives, whose numbers have dramatically increased during the pandemic. Panelists from museums, non-profits, and libraries will describe their innovative approaches to producing oral histories and podcasts, which may now also include a video component; the educational and cultural significance of such initiatives, and how they can increase the understanding and accessibility of materials traditionally used by scholars to a broader and more diverse audience.

Outside the Library with the Marais Press: Printmaking Collaborations at the University of Louisiana - Lafayette

This panel presentation will present the printmaking program at a medium sized public university that has played host to the visiting artist's printmaking collaborations in an established press that has been running for 20+ years, the output of which is housed at the university museum. The entire collection represents scholarship from a diverse body of artists and greatly adds to the inclusiveness of the creative community on campus while promoting service learning. Additionally, the staff at the university museum, is uniquely positioned to instruct from a primary source perspective about materials in their collection and promote the printmaking community in a broader context. One outcome from this endeavor included a collaboration between an artist/research librarian, the professor of printmaking/director of the press, and the museum curator of exhibitions. While collaborating at the press in the 20/21 academic year, this activity strengthened and built on a direct link to resources and support for the printmaking program from the library, while also aiding library instruction opportunities utilizing the print collection of the press and assets of the museum. It also positions a small mid-major intuition as having a serious, world-class collection of works on paper. The service learning press has the cooperation of an institution that can vouch for the quality of work being produced by the students and visiting artists. Additionally, it helped to break down academic silos between departments across campus and build interdisciplinary learning communities that form a symbiotic relationship and creates a positive educational feedback loop. The professor of printmaking/director of the press, will talk about the origins of the press and how he became involved with the program, some of the artists he has worked with, and the techniques represented. The curator of exhibitions at the university museum will discuss his involvement with the preservation, documentation, and presentation of the press as well as the scholarship that has taken place. He will also elaborate on how this collection fits in with the broader printmaking community across the United States. Finally, the artist/research librarian will share his experience working at the press and discuss how the relationship between the library and the printmaking program has strengthened, unique connections drawn between the press and library instruction, and how collaborations such as these impact and strengthen the campus community as a whole.

Imaginando Arte y Arquitectura Mexicana / Imagining Mexican Art & Architecture

The mention of Mexico City conjures certain iconic images to mind: an aerial view of the Palacio de Bellas Artes at dusk or sunlight dramatically striking a corner Luis Barragan's house near the Bosque Chapultepec, the carefully-arranged interiors of Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul or the pre-hispanic sculptural fragments of the Templo Mayor. In addition to photographing these well-known sites in the capital, nineteenth and twentieth-century photographers like Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Judith Sandoval, and Enrique Cervantes imagined the art and architecture of Mexico from new perspectives and transformed our understanding of them. Works of art in their own right, these photographs are also important resources for the study of art history, architecture, social history, and urbanism. This panel explores the photographic holdings of a range of North American academic and museum libraries that document Mexican art and architecture, with particular emphasis on resources related to Mexico City.

Using the Homosaurus as a Tool for Reparative Description and Community-Building with Queer Collections

This panel convenes presenters from cultural heritage organizations of different sizes and scopes who have been exploring the Homosaurus controlled vocabulary as a means of describing and improving access to LGBTQIA+ collections. The Homosaurus is an international linked data vocabulary that supports the discovery of LGBTQIA+ materials in GLAM institutions; its development is overseen by an Editorial Board of metadata and LGBTQIA+ studies experts along with its broad user community. Standard subject vocabularies like the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) provide language for LGBTQIA+ topics that can be inadequate, inaccurate, or even offensive, reinforcing dominant heterosexual, cisgender, white, male, Christian and western perspectives. For this reason, all of the presenters felt that using the Homosaurus was necessary. Furthermore, the inclusion of Homosaurus terms alongside LCSH terms allows users to think critically about the act of classification and how it functions simultaneously as a tool of representation and of exclusion. Presenter 1, working at a large academic library, collaborated with colleagues to use the Homosaurus to describe a collection of LGBTQIA+ periodicals and ephemera, a collection that covers a wide range of subjects related to marginalized queer communities, the body, and sexuality. The Homosaurus allowed Presenter 1 and their colleagues to reflect the perspectives of LGBTQIA+ creators and researchers via MARC catalog records. The presenter will also discuss collaboration with IT staff to make the vocabulary more visible in the online catalog and efforts to educate fellow metadata and public services staff about the vocabulary so that it can be used more broadly across the library. Presenter 2 is the archive manager of a small, digitized magazine collection stewarded by an LGBTQIA+ foundation. In mapping the archive from RealView Partica onto the archival publication platform Bondi, the Homosaurus vocabulary is being utilized to write metadata, describing and tagging the collection. The collection contains 220 digitized copies of a printed lesbian lifestyle periodical which ran for thirty years. It is also housed within Galeâ€™s Archives of Sexuality and Gender and we hope to collaborate with their staff to integrate Homosaurus into the collection's subject descriptions. Homosaurus has allowed Presenter 2 to increase access points to the collection, as well as further the documentation and representation of LGBTQIA+ people within the realm of periodical archives. Presenter 3 works for a large public university and has helped to coordinate the implementation of the Homosaurus vocabulary in conjunction with larger conscious editing and reparative metadata efforts over the past two years. Their library holds both archival and print LGBTQIA+ collections, including personal and professional papers and traditionally published monographs, underground and independently printed publications, erotica, ephemera, and young adult books. The Homosaurus has been used a training vehicle for undergraduate and graduate interns, as well as a best practices model for metadata across MARC cataloging, archival description and classification, and digital collections in order to increase representation of identities, discoverability of materials for researchers, and as a way for patrons to engage with and request LGBTQIA+ materials in a more private and affirming manner.

Curating with Cultural Integrity: Transforming Behaviors for Diverse Collections

The content of our arts collections are formed by a variety of obvious and subtle influences including but not limited to the vendors we consult, staff who participate with selections, funding sources and distribution, the relationships we seek with artists, curators, educators, local communities, and user communities - essentially the networks of who we know and come into contact with. In all these situations, librarians are choosing ”consciously or unconsciously” which stories to center and which members of our communities to welcome.

Management and Leadership Roundtable

Most of us will have taken at least one, if not several, management classes in the course of our studies to become information professionals but have subsequently found that those classes are woefully inadequate to prepare us for the real-world experience of leading teams and performing the duties required of us as managers. As information professionals we are called upon to manage in a range of situations with varying levels of complexity, whether it's managing large or small teams, a single individual, or managing up your institutional hierarchy, understanding the challenges, as well as dispelling myths about leadership and management, will encourage individuals to take up leadership roles and ensure that they feel confident in their abilities.

Closing Plenary with Dr. Barbara Mundy

Barbara E. Mundy’s scholarship dwells in zones of contact between Native peoples and settler colonists as they forged new visual cultures in the Americas. She has been particularly interested in the social construction of space and its imaginary, which was the subject of her first book, The Mapping of New Spain. Her most recent book, The Death of Aztec Tenochtitlan, the Life of Mexico City, draws on Indigenous texts and representations to counter a colonialist historiography and to argue for the city’s nature as an Indigenous city through the sixteenth century. Mundy's current book project, "The Embodiment of the Word: European Book Culture and New World Manuscripts." Rather than considering Indigenous manuscripts as phenomena separate from European books, it situates native bookmakers in the midst of the new technological revolution brought about by the printing press. While Martin Luther’s innovations (and conflagrations) take up most of the oxygen in the history of print in the early sixteenth century, attracting less attention, but equally radical, was the Spanish crown’s use of the new technology to control, via standardization, governance, language, and history. The testing ground of this imperial project was the “Indies,” as their American territories were called, and it is within this context that her protagonists--Indigenous writers, painters and bookmakers--operated. With Dana Leibsohn, Mundy is the co-creator of Vistas: Visual Culture in Spanish America, 1520-1820. Digital projects are a fundamental part of her teaching practice. Mundy was the 2021-22 Kislak Chair at the Library of Congress; she has had fellowships at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art and at the John Carter Brown Library. She serves on the editorial board of Estudios de cultura náhuatl and is the current president of the American Society for Ethnohistory. Prior to coming to Tulane, she was a Professor of Art History at Fordham University in New York.

Capacity: 30

The Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) was founded, in its modern form, in 1910 by Justo Sierra as a secular alternative to its predecessor, the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico, founded in 1551. It is the largest university in Mexico, with some 300,000 students. Its primary purpose is to be at the service of the country and humanity, train professionals useful to society, organize and carry out research, mainly on national conditions and problems, and extend the benefits of culture as widely as possible. [parts adapted from Wikipedia]

In 2007, its main campus, Ciudad Universitaria, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. According to UNESCO, the present campus, built between 1949 and 1952, is “a unique example of 20th century modernism integrating urbanism, architecture, engineering, landscape design and fine arts with references to local traditions, especially to Mexico’s pre-Hispanic past. The ensemble embodies social and cultural values of universal significance and is one of the most significant icons of modernity in Latin America.” Of special interest to the art-and-book-minded are the library, featuring a monumental Juan O’Gorman mural wrapping its exterior; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (MUAC); Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas; and murals by Rivera and Siqueiros.

Capacity: 40

The Library of Mexico or Biblioteca de México "José Vasconcelos'' opened in 1946 in the building known as La Ciudadela, built between 1793 and 1807 by the Spanish architect José Antonio González Velázquez to house the Real Fábrica de Puros y Cigarros de México . In addition to the Library of Mexico, the building houses the Centro de la Imagen and the headquarters of the General Directorate of Libraries of the Ministry of Culture. It received the nickname “José Vasconcelos” in 2000 and should not be confused with the Biblioteca Vasconcelos, frequently referred to as the Megabiblioteca (Megalibrary) [adapted from Wikipedia]

Combining expansive spaces with more intimate ones, it features the imaginatively installed libraries of notable writers including Alí Chumacero and Carlos Monsiváis. Atlas Obscura adds, “There are unique murals, a large collection of books in braille, a children’s department, concert halls, a gallery, a museum, a theater, a movie hall, and even a newspaper library. Today it is considered one of the three most beautiful libraries of Mexico.”
