Sista Said: Words of Wisdom from Black Women in Social Justice & the Arts is a vibrant celebration of words, voices, and visions; a powerful tribute to Black women who have shaped social justice and the arts. Through a series of letterpress postcards, Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr. brings forward resonant quotations from figures ranging from Sojourner Truth to Audre Lorde, from Harriet Tubman to Nina Simone, from Toni Morrison to Zora Neale Hurston.
Freshly commissioned for the release of Citizen Printer, Sista Said comprises two sets of twenty inspiring quotations, each distinguished by its own graphic background. Reproduced in offset and presented in a keepsake box, these postcards turn language into form, and conviction into a tactile experience.
A printer, designer, and artist, Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr. approaches typography as both craft and political act. In Sista Said, printing becomes a means of transmission and remembrance, preserving the clarity, strength, and enduring relevance of voices that continue to shape our present.
