Cicada Press began with experimental projects at Meadowbank TAFE in 2001, established its reputation at UNSW between 2004-2021 and is now operating independently in the studio of its director Michael Kempson. It was created to facilitate student engagement in fine art printmaking production with over 240 internationally respected artists invited to explore the dynamic practice of a custom-printing studio. Using informal processes and open dialogue this collaborative working relationship reinforces mutual respect in the act of making through the lived experience of learning, with outcomes exhibited worldwide.
