Paper Jam is an annual alternative book fair at Ringling College of Art + Design with a mission to empower emerging and diverse voices. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we're shifting this year's event to an interactive, virtual showcase on social media happening February 8-12, 2021.

The chosen theme—MOVEMENT—is inspired by ongoing social movements for racial justice, gender equality, and diversity inclusion. Paper Jam’s Instagram (@rcadpaperjam), Facebook (@rcadpaperjam), and hashtag (#rcadpaperjam) will spotlight artists who are engaged in community activism or are addressing themes of injustice in their work, plus interactive stories to foster dialogue and encourage collaboration with other thinkers and makers.
