Issue 10: Recall
Spring/Summer 2023
$21.00
As BAR celebrates our own (albeit short) history, we’re looking to archives and blueprints, memories, and dreams to inform our future. We’re paying homage to the people and spaces that have shaped Boston’s art community and scenes that are inspiring new waves. We’re reflecting on how far we’ve come, what we’ve left behind, and what we’re hoping to create.
Cover: Lyle Ashton Harris, Obsessão II, detail 2017.
Includes: Poster designed by Lyle Ashton Harris, 14.5″ x 19×5″, offset print with metallic ink.
