A diasporic collective learning initiative that exists decidedly outside the confines of academia, higher education, and imperial school systems. Driven by the spirit of figuring it out together, our intuitive pedagogy creates conditions for collective dreaming in order to remember intuition and restore indigeneity.

The People’s Propaganda Printmaking Studio Fellowship Program is a study group for Black and Indigenous artists and researchers engaged in printmaking as an archival and abolitionist tool.

Developed by the ITS-IN-SCOPE Freedom Institute, in partnership with Legacy Library and made possible through funding from Crafting the Future, this fellowship program operates outside the constructs of academia or traditional artist programs by merging historical inquiry and creative practice with liberatory intent.

Through application and orientation, the participating study group began in Spring 2026 and culminates in Fall 2026. Organized through a seasonal framework participating fellows progress through spring study sessions, a summer studio practice, and complete their experince via an exhibition of their works in the fall at Perri + Ren Gallery.
