This artist book was printed in collaboration with the Henry Art Gallery on the occasion of Carmen Winant’s 2025 Monsen Photography Lecture and concurrent presentation of works from Passing On at the Henry. Passing On includes collages and annotated newspaper obituaries of influential feminist leaders and activists. The clippings reflect on a lineage of non-biological inheritance, evoking both the importance of memorialization as well as the inherent gaps that riddle the historic record. This signed artist book contains over 60 additional obituaries from Winant’s extensive archive, printed on translucent sheets of acetate and spiral-bound with blank pages in between. The quality of the acetate plays with the legibility of each clipping while also inviting a process of layering and combining text to evoke an ongoing lineage that transcends time, space, and the archive.
