Focusing on contemporary practitioners and on facilitating collaboration and conversation, the exhibition will feature a reading room with a select library and a working studio. The books, booklets, zines, take-aways and leaflets collected and exhibited through the project advocate independent publishing as a first rather than a last resort.
Looking at independent or small-scale publishing as both a medium and a strategy, the project's interest in these items is part sentimental, part tactile and part political. Guest participants will include Johannesburg based online publishers and fledgling self-broadcasters CUSS - Ravi Govender, Jamal Nxedlana and Zamani Xolo.
