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.

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.
