Dr Henry is a sociologist with special interests in policy, politics and religion.

‘The Beauty of Books’ is an exhibition celebrating the art of the book. This exhibition, featuring members of Green Door Printmaking Studio, aims to demonstrate the numerous hand-printed periphery which traditionally surround books.

A bookplate is a small decorative, often hand- printed, label which is pasted into the flyleaf of a book. The practise of using bookplates can be dated as far back to the reign of Amenophis III in ancient Egypt.

This exhibition will also showcase a selection of books created by members of the studio and invited artists. They will also host talks and taster workshops related to bookmaking, culminating in a celebration of Green Door’s 10th birthday.

Think for a moment about the word ‘voice’, what is it to have a voice? And, how does one, ‘raise your voice’?

When thinking about the word ‘voice’, I encountered the word ‘infant’. Infant comes from Latin and means, ‘unable to speak’, or ‘without a voice’. I then considered other usages, i.e. infantry: these are the foot soldiers who have no say in what happens to them. Or, infant: a child who has not yet learned to speak the ‘Mother Tongue’, not yet participating in the ‘Symbolic Order’.

Infantalises is a word I hear more and more these days in relation to education, society, culture and politics.How do we become infantalised? Voiceless. Silenced.

The photographers in this exhibition are finding their voices, and we should take the time to listen.
