UMKC alumna Jeanne Drewes spent years traveling to Cuba, partnering with Ediciones Vigía, an independent publishing company and collective of book artists in Matanzas, Cuba. Over that time, she amassed a sizeable collection of Cuban books, some of which she recently donated to the LaBudde Special Collections.
Ahead of her Sept. 27 talk, "Unbound: The Artistry of Cuban Bookmaking," Jeanne shares her experiences in Cuba, and the stories behind her interest in Cuban literature and culture.
Guest:
