Visiting Artist Series: India Johnson

India Johnson (b. 1992) is a Minneapolis-based artist who makes books and non-books (what’s a non-book? perhaps an installation or participatory project in or about libraries). India’s work associates textiles with formal practices for organizing information, and has been installed in churches, libraries, and galleries throughout the Midwest. In 2020, she received an MFA from the University of Iowa Center for the Book and became a founding member of LGBTQ Iowa Archives & Library. She is half of Late Night Copies Press, a micro-publisher of zines that feature material from queer archives. India’s critical writing about books and libraries has been published in print by Image, and in SONNET(S) (Ugly Duckling Press, 2020).
