EFA Robert Blackburn Oral Histories

Juan Sánchez

Born to working-class Puerto Rican immigrants in Brooklyn, Juan Sánchez has been part of several New York City collectives and communities including Exit Art, Taller Boricua, En Foco, and an organizer with the Comité Pro Libertad de los Nacionalistas. In 1984, Sánchez was invited as a Jerome Fellow, and to participate in the Third World Artists Portfolio. 

In this excerpt, Sánchez discusses the international community of The Printmaking Workshop and his years of collaboration including travels to Egypt for the Cairo Biennale curated by Deborah Cullen-Morales with artists Michael Kelly Williams, Kay WalkingStick, Faith Ringgold, and Mel Edwards.
