Special Edition — Undoing Time
Limited-edition publication of ruth gebreyesus’ writing.
Since Fall ‘25 we have embedded Emily Mulenga’s piece The Time is Nowin online ad spaces throughout Seattle. We love the internet but we also love print projects that you can hold on to, so we’re excited to offer a limited-edition publication about Mulenga’s work.
Written by ruth geybreyesus, “Undoing Time” is begins with the fact that “It’s unclear if the clocks [in Mulenga’s piece] are counting up or down to zero,” and ruminates on the existential urgencies of the present. Her writing is interspersed with images of artists’ work, photographs of protests, cartoon stills, political posters, and more. The publication’s bright yellow paper reflects the cartoon styling’s of Mulenga’s work and makes the publication as visually alive as the work it responds to.
This project was designed and edited by our team, and printed on Neenah ASTROBRIGHTS® Papers at Girlie Press in Seattle.
