February 2025

February 2025 Events

Friday, Feb 14, 12-2pm.
Huskiana Press Suite, 489 Holmes Hall
Who: You! And all your friends and family. The event welcomes folks from the Boston area more generally.
Huskiana Press will be holding a pop-up on Friday, between 12pm and 2pm — Olivia Olson-Roberts designed a Valentine’s card that you can come and print and then give to a loved one.

There may also be an opportunity to print a lovely print (a Pablo Neruda poem)  composed by Emma Beckman, using our new Spanish-language accent support. Emma prepared this  for visiting prospective students who are coming by in the morning, but we may leave it in the press since it’s on-brand for the holiday.

There will be holiday treats and overflow activity in Barrs. As always, this is a drop-in event, so feel free to stay for as long or as little as you would like.

 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. EST
Location: Renaissance Park, Room 909 (1135 Tremont Street)

Huskiana Press invites you to join a Basant Panchami printing event on Friday, January 31 between 11am and 1pm. This event is organized by our wonderful press assistant, Isha Banerjee — all are welcome to attend — those unfamiliar with the celebration are invited to come by and learn. We will have our 19th -century printing press operational for guests to take a souvenir print — Isha has translated a poem and composed a beautiful print. As always, we have snacks (in this case, appropriate to the festival!) and other activities in Barrs room. Stay for as long or as little as you like — this is a drop in event. We’d love to see students and faculty from history come by and join in.
