In conjunction with the second annual Handmade & Bound Nashville at Watkins College of Art, Design & Film, the juried book arts and zine exhibition 'Familiar Relics' will run through October 20 in the Brownlee O. Currey, Jr. Gallery on campus.

Curated by local book artists and instructors Annie Herlocker and Jennifer Knowles-McQuistion, 'Familiar Relics' explores the evolving forms and functions of the book. Authors and artists are no longer bound by paper substrate; digital books, downloadable print, and electronic media have all permeated our cultural landscape, altering the delivery of images and written words. Books are relics, yet constantly changing and with that change come new possibilities.

A celebration of artists’ books, zines, mini-comics and other independent publications, Handmade & Bound, Vol. 2 unfolds Friday, October 5, and Saturday, October 6, at Watkins. The free, family-friendly festival, presented by the Watkins Library and Community Education department, includes hands-on activities in the book arts, demonstrations of techniques and crafts, and dozens of vendors and distributors. All events are free and open to the public.

Handmade & Bound Nashville, Vol. 2, and its gallery exhibition, 'Familiar Relics,' are presented by the librarians and staff of Watkins College of Art, Design & Film, the Watkins Community Education department, and local librarians and book artists, and supported in part by a grant from the William N. Rollins Fund for the Arts of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.
