Printmaking by the People: Liberty, Freedom and Social Justice

In this workshop led by artist Lori Raggio, we will discuss the words “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” to create a dialogue of what Freedom and Social Justice mean in relation to the Declaration of Independence. We will then translate our ideas into imagery and make prints using a Gelli plate!

Learn how to Gelli print! No prior experience necessary. Please register HERE.

This event is part of Mural Arts’ Printmaking by the People, a city-wide project that will help commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration by asking Philadelphians the question, if the Declaration were to be written today, what rights would you want it to include? Come join us and have a chance for your work to serve as inspiration for an upcoming mural and to be shown in an exhibition at the Parkway Central Library in 2026.
