2024 MCAD Collegiate Fellowship
MCBA is pleased to announce Malini Basu as the recipient of the 2024 MCAD Collegiate Fellowship at Minnesota Center for Book Arts!
Malini Basu is a printmaker and textile artist and a recent MFA grad from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Born and raised in Kolkata, India, her work takes inspiration from navigating different cultures as well as navigating the geography around her. During this residency, she is excited to work on a collaborative project with her father, repurposing his ‘Moving Day Parade’ short story he wrote while an international student residing in the US, into an installation of prints with imagery and a transcribed text exchange between father and daughter relaying transitional life experiences to one another. Malini plans on making several unique prints to include collagraphs of cardboard boxes, trace monotype drawings, screenprints and laser cut/die cut lettering and imagery.
