Today (19 February) I’ll give a keynote lecture about “Tactical Publishing” during the Paper Bonds conference at CEFRES - Centre français de recherche en sciences sociales in Prague. Paper Bonds is about “how self-made books and non-commercial bookmaking practices can foster personal connections, shape identities and build communities across Europe and the Middle East”. Looking forward to listen to leading researchers Hélène Martinelli, Giedrė Šabasevičiūtė and Ali Al-Moussaoui.

She's done! Looks way better in print, but I've got the digital flipbook version linked in my blog. If you read it, I'd love it if you left a comment afterward.

"Paradise Lost: Sarasota, Florida Hardcore & Punk Scene 1980s-1990s" is an interview zine about memory and subculture in the face of urban renewal. 68 pages, color cover, b&w interior.

Another fair day, another day of buzzing booths.
Valiz is scattered across cities and time zones this weekend—at ABBF x Peckham24 (London), Offprint London, Printed Matter’s LA Art Book Fair, and beyond.
Follow the paper trails, trace the spines, let the covers pull you in. There’s still time to discover something unexpected.

We’re here. You might be too.
