General call for participation

We’re seeking participation in the following ways:

1. Networking- pointing us in the direction of people who are up to these sorts of things, have been in the past, or want to be in the near future. 

2. Working with us and others in the space - working across disciplines (independently or collaboratively) on publication oriented projects within the space during the exhibition run.

3. Collecting - we’re collecting items in two parts, firstly from practitioners who have their own works to be exhibited as part of the exhibition, and secondly from interested parties who have personal collections that they’re willing to share in part (aimed at loaning items that have had a personal impact, things that arrest or speak to you and advocate the idea of independent publishing in some or other way, basically, instructive objects that will enthuse/inspire/excite/agitate).
