Biographical / Historical
Vice Versa Press was operated by Julia Arredondo who graduated from MICA with a BFA in 2010. Arredondo said, "The approximate dates of existence for Vice Versa Press were 2008-2020. The most active years for the press were between 2012 and 2017, and I attempted to revitalize the brand during pandemic to no avail. Vice Versa Press originated in Baltimore but was registered as a sole proprietorship in Texas briefly. The press traveled and lived in St. Louis, Chicago, Corpus Christi, TX, Austin, TX, Eufaula, OK, Troy, NY and Boca Raton, FL for periods of time in its lifespan."
