Join us for the next Book Art Series!

Monday, April 28th at 6 pm CT

Title: Community Print Shop
Presenters: India Johnson and Aiden Bettine
Moderator: Anika Schneider

We are collaborators who run Late Night Copies Press, the Midwest Queer & Trans Zine Fest, and the Workshop for Independent Publishing together. wipmpls.com

At the Workshop for Independent Publishing, our main program is "Open Copy," (walk-in booklet printing every Saturday).

We will talk about strategies for building capacity in your local community for DIY publishing projects. We will talk about how we opened our apartment print shop up to strangers, and how that's evolved into a brick and mortar community print shop. We will also discuss relationships between WIP and other community entities & events that help build publishing community locally (like the Midwest Queer & Trans Zine Fest).

Embracing the Tangible: Fostering Interdisciplinary Connections in Book Art

In a digital age where screens dominate our interactions, the material book stands as a testament to the enduring power of the tangible. This conference theme invites participants to explore the palpable allure of book art and its capacity to bridge diverse disciplines. We invite proposals for papers, pre-formed panels and demonstrations that examine book art through an interdisciplinary lens highlighting connections and collaborations between book art and disciplines ranging from literature, music, and visual arts to science and technology and beyond. In addition, the conference will include a juried CBAA members exhibition, members showcase, and a vendor fair.

Information about travel and accommodations will go up on the CBAA website in the near future!
