#brooklyn art
After a brief hiatus we are starting up our Tumblr account again.
Is this thing on?
Do people still use Tumblr?
What would you like to see from us? Featured artists spotlights? Available artists books and zines on our webstore? Events / Workshops / Exhibitions Calendar? All of the above? Let us know by reaching out via direct message.
Need a reminder of who we are:
Founded in 1999, Booklyn is an artist-run, non-profit 501 © (3), consensus-governed, artists and bookmakers organization headquartered at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
Booklyn supports artists and organizations committed to environmental and social justice. We work towards this by documenting, exhibiting, promoting, and distributing their work within educational institutions worldwide. We envision a world in which art and bookmaking are tools for education, personal agency, community engagement, and political activism.

In 2012, Jennifer Maravillas set out on foot to each block of Brooklyn, collecting litter for an art piece titled 71 Square Miles.
“If you look closely you see an array of languages, elements of design, and ideas represented in these bits of garbage.”
Walking more than 70 miles around Brooklyn felt like a tour of the world’s religions, Maravillas says: “There were neighborhoods with strong religious identities. It always feels like reading a book when you go on a big walk.”
71 Square Miles is currently on display at the BRIC House gallery’s “Mapping Brooklyn” exhibit, alongside other artists’ cartographic renditions of the borough.
