The March 2026 special folio of Broadsided is themed “Signs of Life: Artists and Writers Respond to AI.” Broadsided asked four artists to provide images from their notebooks, then provided four AI-adjacent prompts for writers: What role does AI play in your creative life? Your pragmatic life? How do you, as a human, reckon fully with its presence personally? Ecologically? Ethically?
This final folio offers readers a way to reckon with humanity and inhumanity around us and features collaborations between writer S.D. Dillon and artist Janice Redman, writer Hilish Patel and artist Kevin Morrow, writing by Jacqueline Lyons and art by Amy Meissner, writer Beth Feldman Brandt and artist Antonia Contro, and writer Angie Vorhies and artist Antonia Contro.
Each collaboration is available as a free PDF download that can be printed and posted.
Broadsided Press occasionally offers a special folio of work responding to a current moment. It started in 2011, when Broadsided artist Yuko Adachi reached out about creating work in response to (and raising funds for) the Fukushima disaster. Since then, Broadsided has created responses to Superstorm Sandy, the Ebola crisis, in support of the Water Protectors of the Dakota Access Pipeline, and more.
