"Each of the prints are compelling in their own right, and when considered together within the portfolio, the range of perspectives and practices represented by this tremendous group of artists speaks to the power of valuing diversity and difference, in seeking new ways of seeing and understanding the world, and in making connections through art and creative expression."

“The talent, creativity, and generosity of the artists—all of whom made prints specifically for this portfolio project—was truly exceptional. The artists were given complete artistic freedom, and the powerful and poetic works they created capture the vitality and dynamism of contemporary printmaking…The portfolio does more than commemorate this historic occasion; rather, it is a work that future generations will study and enjoy.”
