Today Saturday, June 14 at 19:00 I’ll give a talk at @hkw_berlin – Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, focused on my last book Tactical Publishing, Using Senses, Software, and Archives in the Twenty-First Century, published by @themitpress.
I’ll then be in a dialogue moderated by MISS READ festival director Michalis Pichler (thanks for the invitation!).
