Prints + Publication
KSMoCA produces an ongoing series of catalogues to document the work Dr MLK Jr Students make in collaboration with visiting artists. The catalogues are available for purchase, with proceeds directly benefiting KSMoCA’s programs. Copies of these catalogues also reside in our Contemporary Art Library as a resource for students, faculty and families.
Our catalogs are available as free digital PDF downloads. There are many costs associated with making these books. If you download our free digital publications and feel inclined to donate, please donate to KSMoCA here.

Art + Social Practice Conversations
These books collect conversations facilitated by graduating students in the Art + Social Practice MFA Program at Portland State University. All of the MFA students conduct interviews related to the topic of art and social practice each academic term during the three years of the Program. The interviews are posted as part of Social Forms of Art (SoFA) Journal, and then compiled together as part of this book series. The books are published by KSMoCA in collaboration with the Art + Social Practice MFA Program. They are available to buy on Amazon and as free downloads.
Asking for Directions by Caryn Aasness
For this book of collected interviews, Aasness investigated myriad topics that piqued their interest, inviting other people to be their research partners.
Being There by Diana Marcela Cuartas
The conversations in this book focus on communities and places in dialogue through art. Guided by the conditions and circumstances of their particular histories and sociopolitical contexts, the artists and projects featured in these interviews bring a perspective from which art-making is correlated with the place where it occurs.
Take Me With You by Laura Glazer
Sometimes conversations feel like a long walk together and the person I’m talking with is taking me somewhere, telling me about their ideas and experiences and pointing out what’s important to them.
What Would I Be Without Everybody? by Becca Kauffman
The voices within this collection of interviews are people whose work, livelihood, art form, expertise, and spirit rely on people—us—to be fulfilled.
What Can You Learn From Talking to Someone? by Kiara Walls
People learn through conversations by co-generating a sense of understanding and connection. In each conversation, I learn something that I can add to my tool box for navigating life.
I Learn A Lot By Asking Questions by Luz Blumenfeld
I have always considered my teaching practice to be a part of my art practice, though for a long time, I didn’t know how to articulate why. I think that the way I am a teacher is also the way I am a student; I’m curious, I make mistakes, I learn from them, and I try again.
I See What You See by Gili Rappaport
How can art be a channel to conduct miracles together in the everyday? How can making art together relate to our current climate catastrophe, and encouraging stewardship of the land?
If I’m Vulnerable, Will You Be Vulnerable, Too? by Olivia DelGandio
Whatever the topic, essential to my practice is intimate conversation. It’s sharing a piece of myself in hopes that you might share one back. It’s holding our shared truths gently and being open to whatever comes from our time together. These interviews are an extension of that practice.
