Flowers from Jericho
Flowers from Jericho was an exhibition of riso prints created by Matilda Bull during her residency at Out of the Blueprint in the Spring of 2024. Fuelled by fury at the genocide in Palestine, Matilda used her time to produce protest posters and artwork calling for action and solidarity.
Matilda’s exhibition has now run its course, but you can still get your hands on prints and posters available on our web shop.
See what Matilda gets up to next on instagram @tildathebull.
Kali: Launching at ECAF 2024
It’s just another average day back at high school for teenage honey badger Kali and her friends… until a strange new kid shows up and ruins their game of ‘Heroes of Glory’! When her pals are put in danger, will Kali be able to step up and become a real hero?
Out of the Blueprint is excited to share Kali, a graphic novel from Coocoora – preorder now!
