papertrailOn Wednesday 1 April, we are celebrating the launch of Page Not Found's new minibieb and our publication “Free Books: On the Infrastructural Promise of Street Libraries”! Join us for a public programme focused on reading and activating the city through spatial interventions.
Together with Radna Rumping from Loom, we will reflect on how street libraries (aka minibiebs) and other bottom-up urban infrastructures break through the blandness and smoothness of the contemporary city. And how situated knowledge and sense-making practices can reshape how we relate to each other in the public sphere.
The evening will feature talks by Papertrail, who will provide insights into the making of the book and how minibiebs may inspire radically different informational futures, and writer-artist-curator Radna Rumping, who will reflect on embodied artistic practices and conditions of urban (in)visibility. Expect an open conversation on print in a digital world, amateur spatial interventions, walking as research practice, and how artists and designers can activate public space.
Come talk, listen, and imagine the city as a shared library.
